Pros

Credible senior leaders, true customer focus, stock, snack programme. Supposedly the number one place to work in Ireland - I'm sure it is for many. Exciting revenue/stock growth story.

Cons

The employee experience is completely dependent on the team - examples of terrible middle management are increasingly and openly visible. There is a pretty solid ceiling to career progression for many teams in Dublin, and there is a lot of talk around internal mobility but I have observed managers work actively against employee movement. A lot of lip-service around employee led career experiences - for a bad manager this is a dream to opt out of the conversation entirely: "it's your career!". CEO and site leaders genuinely seem to care but certain managers continue to fly under the radar.

Stay Away from Workday Education

Pros

Loved the company and the innovation

Cons

The Workday Education group is full of terrible, back-stabbing people. It's run like a police-state, no dissent allowed, words are monitored, ideas are discouraged.

Pros

Great culture in certain teams. Flexible work schedule, free food, and get to work in Europe

Cons

Not very strong managers. Financial development use to have 60 developers. Today, there is 400 developers - just in one area! They over hired and brought in average developers - not very strong ... they just hired to meet the target number. The top manager is from Oracle and Microsoft. He can care less about his employees. All his managers are too scared to say anything. There is a turf war between Product Management and Development. The product's performance sucks. Large companies are not buying Financials. Development process is over engineered (taking Agile to the extreme!). Salaries are low, career growth for developers do not exist.
