Fun place to work, but management could use training

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Open to working from home and there are lots of employees who work remotely from home offices 100% of the time. Lots of employee "perks" and and fun contests. Promote healthy lifestyle with health club discounts, brown bag seminars etc… Product is great and getting even better.

Cons

1st/2nd level managers are still doing an individual contributor jobs and thus aren't effective leaders or communicators A lot of managers seem to be people who have just "been there a long time" not necessarily people who are true leaders. Manager Leadership training would be a huge help here. Career path isn't obvious nor discussed. PTO lags behind other companies.

Pros

Workday has innovative technology, highly intelligent and motivated co-workers and offers you the ability to manage your work arrangement for flexibility and balance. We work hard and achieve excellent results.

Cons

Workday is still a young company and suffers from immature corporate processes. For those who work outside of the Pleasanton corporate offices, communication can be blurred and opportunities are not as clear. In addition, unclear career paths seem to be the norm.

Pros

-Friendly People -Fun Culture -Is growing rapidly -wants to get better - is killing the competition

Cons

People who have been in management since the company started aren't up-to-date with the consumer app quality that Workday is aspiring for. It really holds it down. Many of the new people hired come from places that Google and Facebook would not hire from.
