Workday reviews

The pace is relentless and the work not particularly interesting. Very political, and very much "The Ex-PeopleSoft We Hate Larry" club. The toolset is completely proprietary, and there is explicit lack of investment in the application development environment. Unfortunately, the mindset is "work harder, not smarter" and number of hours in the office (and nights and weekends) are an important metric for success.

- Leadership is completely lost and uninspiring: CEO doesn’t know anything about tech and AI innovation. Why’s he getting paid over $100 million a year salary? Only knows how to cut costs by taking things from the minions. He is hiring a bunch of sr. VPs to do the “innovating” and they’re all left overs that failed in their previous roles at Google Cloud. All of them are so uninspiring and fake. All this leadership team can do is pay astronomical prices to acquire other companies. In-house innovation is dead at Workday - Dead stock: stock is going nowhere. Even when we announce layoffs and acquisitions, it doesn’t even go up - No longer customer-centric: They still say customers are a core value but it’s actually not true at all. PMs no longer address customer enhancement requests and just do whatever the confused leadership tells them to which is pump out agents that our customers don’t even want - Cutting our benefits one by one: cut our $50 monthly wellness credit, cut travel budget, cut bagels, cut team event budgets, cut mid-year promotions & raises, and now health insurance costs have increased by 3x - Lack of recognition: You can work yourself like crazy and not get any recognition because you’re not working on the sexy buzzwords leadership is currently obsessed about. They also cut mid-year promotion and raise cycle this year. Morale is down the drain and feels like there’s no point in working hard - Silent layoffs: every month there are silent layoffs (to avoid WARN notice) and top performers are impacted by these causing confusion and panic. Everyone’s thinking whether they’re next - Offshoring like crazy: Watch out if you’re based out of the USA because if you’re training someone in India, you’re next on the chopping block. Company doesn’t care about quality and customer satisfaction anymore, they just want to cut operating costs
