      Pros

      Having worked in multiple companies in multiple industries, I have found Workday to be one of the best. Though there is some truth to the concerns expressed, we have experienced tremendous growth (revenue and employee count), which always drives growing pains. We have a very well seasoned leadership team (not their first rodeo) and a culture that is rooted in "happy employees = happy customers". Though a big company, there are a lot of opportunities to be entrepreneurial and drive real change. We are revolutionizing the ERP market and it's a tremendously exciting place to be.

      Cons

      The growth results in constant change, which you have to be comfortable with.

      Pros

      Snack program Workday products are not bad

      Cons

      1. Management is inadequate, don't know how to motivate employees, like to give orders and create fear. This company has by far the worst management (both upper and middle) I have ever seen. 2. Fake Workday's "aloha" culture. Employees feel pressured into answering positively to numerous surveys Workday imposes on them to boost up its image as "the best employer". 3. Strange culture of data hogging. People are fearful of sharing information and data, which is detrimental to productivity.

      Pros

      Excellent product based on modern technology. True SaaS delivery model that eliminates the effort of costly upgrades and enables customers to be on the latest release. Visionary C level management however seems disconnected from the field.

      Cons

      Lack of understanding of local markets outside of US. Senior Management in California live in a "bubble" and have little appreciation of the field. Employees in regions that don't meet their quotas are underpaid compared to Oracle and SAP. The stock price has been lagging to compensate for the difference. Administrative processes are becoming a burden and it is hard to get things done so agility is negatively impacted. There is a clique of employees who joined the company early and they make the majority of decisions like promotions etc outside of the formal process.
