The demise of security

Pros

Workday HCM is better than the competing products. It is literally years ahead. The people who built it were visionaries and their vision will be paying off for years to come and keep the company going.

Cons

This is surely not a company it used to be. For example, security. It was one of the foundation stones and the security team had a strong unified voice influencing key decisions. Now it's fragmented, pushed down the org chart, confused and powerless. The management is in denial. While HCM is going strong, Workday new products are just not competitive. Ask sales about the Financials. And there is no accountability. HR is ignoring nepotism and diversity issues. The compensation is lagging. Highly political culture.

Pros

The darling HR product but definitely not the darling Finance product.

Cons

The good days are gone. No Work life balance. Worked all day and night. A lot of people that are just fake. Sales Management uses the "F" bombs and a lot of pressure which is not motivating. Remote sales reps get bullied into going into the office which is mostly empty for face time except for certain meetings. Pushing their financials which is not top rated with finance folks. Unfortunately the culture is turning into Oracle. Look elsewhere.

Hostile toward sales

Pros

Mostly satisfied customers. Some very smart people. Thorough training.

Cons

Arrogance of management who think their product should sell itself. Leads to hostile work environment towards sales reps. Very high turnover. Mores reps walking out the back than coming in the front. Treat seasoned reps like college new hires. It's all Oracle. Fresh ideas and approaches to deals are not encouraged. Very low percentage of reps make club because the territories are microscopic.
