Pros

Best product bar none. Technology is awesome senior leadership (outside of Sales) is fantastic. People are really working hard to make he best solution on the market.

Cons

Terrible sales cycle. Severely limited account base. More consultants attend club than sales reps. Territory's shift yearly and management expects you to Believe in Karma when all your deals shift to a new rep. Executives at the top are awesome but sales management is a good old boy network. Large attrition in sales team allows management to select who wins and loses by allocating active deals to those that suck up best. Avoid the illusion if you're in sales. This place is terrible and you'll be broke before you know it.

Pros

I've been at Workday for 3+ years. I have to say it still has quite a bit of smart and talented people. Workday still has a lot of untapped potential. The brand is now recognized worldwide and we are #2 as the best place to work.

Cons

Dave if you're reading this please come back and help ensure our culture is not being hijacked. If you are a fellow Workday employee please up vote thus if you agree. Where should I begin? There are an influx of Oracle-like managers. They are in development, sales, and director roles. They don't care about their employees. They spend all their time making themselves look good rather than worrying about the culture, its employees and the best for our company and customers. It's become really corporate and political fast. A lot of the original Workday people are being pushed out because of this. These managers are hiring senior, principal roles externally rather than promote within. Most likely hiring people who agree with their agenda rather than based on merit. In Support one Senior integrations engineer was overlooked for a managerial position. They hired some one much younger with no integration experience. HR has a history of not doing anything. I've had multiple colleagues complain to hr only to be reprimanded by thier manager after they found out. You have to complain to the head of Hr Kim roa to get anything done. Trying to change or improve anything is frown upon. VPs and directors are where they are at because they insist on using antiquated systems and procedures They don't support innovation since it makes their day to day activities obsolete. They strive in this broken system because thats how they remain visible and relevant. You improve or fix the system and they basically aren't useful anymore.
