      Not what it seems - Anonymous employee Workday Employee Review

      Pros

      There is still some legacy family-driven culture left from the Dave Duffield PSFT days. Halloween, bring kids to work, etc. If you want to learn how people manage up, this is the place. Products are good, customers are good. There are some really good people working there.

      Cons

      Extremely political, hypocritical leadership and a back-stabbing culture with many PSFT, Oracle and SAP leaders and for some reason tenure--not results--carries more weight. Hierarchical, can't get decisions made, lack of respect and authenticity. It's a strange place--and one that I'm happy to never set foot in again. Senior HR leadership weak and disconnected. Poor compensation well below market.

      Pros

      Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

      Cons

      Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
