Pros

Workday RSU, ESPP, 401k , Salary is above industry standard

Cons

Worst managers, too much politics. Too many worthless people from Oracle who brings their friends even they can't do the job. Blame game is all over. Too many levels of managers. Company is still not profitable! Managers talk/ criticizes about employees looks in their own language which is non English. No HR or HR is a joke. This whole company is a joke. They hire HR for QA Engineers work. Now you understand the standard of this company. As long as you are less than a year here you will like to work here. Once you understand your worthless manager is doing politics with you, you will lose interest about the work and the company.

First year looked like a dream but then ...

Pros

Great program for interns and fresh graduates. Diversity programs. Free snacks.

Cons

First couple years looked like a dream. We are a great company and we are all nice people ... But then ... There is a dark side behind that picture perfect image. When I tried to propose something different, my manager told me plain and simple that I should not be going against that other team. We are nice people, we don't argue in public. The company is full of politics. Your performance mostly doesn't matter (and nobody is really trying to measure it!), it's all about who you know. And since Workday keeps hiring people faster than business grows, it becomes really tense now.

Great technology, horrible management

Pros

Workday has great technology. The platform is very modern, robust, and innovative. The UI is easy to use and customers, for the most part, have a positive experience with Workday. I believe that our CEO is an honest, ethical, smart leader.

Cons

Unfortunately, our CEOs ethics do not translate down into the trenches where we work. Middle management is horrible! It is very much a boys club and preferential treatment is given to those that are a part of the in-crowd. Communication from middle management is terrible and employee feedback is definitely an "F" word. I am planning to leave this year and hope that my next company stands behind its stated core values.
