Company culture starting to get lost

Consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and stable product. One of the best HCM SaaS solutions on the market, so job security feels relatively safe.

Cons

We’re jumping on the Elon train of starting to ignore our “people” core value in favor of “profitability.” Good place if you don’t mind being over worked and under appreciated. It could just be my boss, but recent communications from senior leadership makes it feel like an intentional culture shift.

Not a good experience due to bad Management

Industry consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Allot of good people work at Workday

Cons

Allot of bad managment due to the seven layers of managment in place over a single account sales executive. And having a direct manager in place who is abusive, badgers the reps and exposes his Maga beliefs constantly does not reflect well for a company who promotes inclusion, diversity and equality in the market place

Pros

I have been at Workday almost 15 years and watched our products grow into a robust solution

Cons

Unfortunately, I have also watched our culture turn incredibly toxic, and it's coming from HR. No longer do you get recognized or promoted for good work. And if you speak up, you are blacklisted and managed out. I have watched the company I love be destroyed.
