      Used to be great. Is awful now, with no relief in sight.

      Pros

      The best technology and software in this industry. Company is moving in the right direction to take over the enterprise software market

      Cons

      Terrible pay, benefits, and culture. If you worked at PeopleSoft, or are one of the rare "chosen ones" who happen to fall into favor with the PeopleSofters, you walk on water. You get all of the promotions, merit, bonuses, stock, and compensation. You can be in the field and have a reputation of being awesome, but your direct management team won't recognize you, promote you, pay you, or develop you. Dave Duffield is definitely no longer around, and he took his culture and values with him, no matter what the company wants you to believe. Taking your comments all the way to senior leadership just gets you black balled and retaliated against. This is from personal experience, as after I raised my concerns, a large piece of compensation I was promised was mysteriously denied by upper management with no explanation given.

      Nothing But LOVE for Workday

      Pros

      Workday is the BEST company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for some really great companies. Time and time again I’m impressed. Leadership is open and honest. They treat us well with beautiful offices, free snacks, game rooms, team building events, family-friendly functions, and more. The company culture is a great foundation started by Aneel and Dave. What other companies have Fun and Employees as core values? If you are driven but not a bulldozer, work well in a team but don't need to be micromanaged, care about your customers, whether internal or external, and treat people as you'd like to be treated, with mutual respect and empathy, then Workday is the place for you.

      Cons

      My cons aren't with Workday. They're with the Workmates who are here and don't appreciate what they have. They lack one thing – gratitude. Instead, they’re entitled and it’s shameful. My friends and family are in awe of everything we have here because it doesn’t exist for them in their workplace. It's unfortunate to see negative reviews of Workday since it makes me wonder what the person who wrote it is doing to rectify their own situation. If you have a problem, address it with someone who can help (and that’s not venting to a co-worker, although that does feel good). Don't hide behind a keyboard with anonymous posts. It won’t get you anywhere. And if you don’t like it here, it’s pretty simple; find your dream job elsewhere and we’ll wish you well.
