Finally leaving - years too late

Pros

Benefits are very good. Perks (snacks, celebrations) - if you like this stuff, very good.

Cons

Awful PeopleSoft old-boys network. Know the right people, you'll get ahead. If not, or if you try to shake things up at all, you're blacklisted for life.

Pros

If you're related to someone there, or best friends with your manager, you will have a job for life and be promoted to your greatest level of uselessness.

Cons

Difficult place to work, expectations are beyond ridiculous at times. Unrealistic goals expectations. If you're not part of the inner clique, they will band together to make sure you will not survive. I've seen this behavior on numerous occasions.

Pros

Fantastic people to work with, professional and knowledgeable. HCM is still a great product.

Cons

Culture has gone downhill and is sinking fast. Company focus is now on expansion so taking on more and more customers. In making Workday more attractive financially for customers resources are being reduced for customer-facing roles. All the power is in Pleasanton, so if you're in a region you're the tail wagging the dog. Not enough coordination across departments is causing confusion.
