Workday reviews

Too many good people getting walked out so incoming management can bring their friends in. Too many incoming incompetent people with egos bigger than ability. Need to go back to basics - hire good people that do a great job and care about the customer more than they care about their buddies and personal ladder climbing. Over the time I've been here the layers of management have tripled - it's unnecessary.

I've started working at Workday straight out of college about 3 1/2 years ago. Overall I've had managers that were promoted from the within and had very little experience in actually developing their employees. Every time I asked for a promotion, my managers would give some sort of excuse as why I am not eligible to be promoted to even level 2. I have mentored others and developed features with absolutely no help. What's even worse is that people on the same org as me get promoted because they have better manager. Over the years, I have become demoralized with all the politics and excuses. Workday falls true to the adage that you have to jump companies to get those promotions/raises. 1. Very little upward mobility. 2. Declining culture. 3. Lots of politics 4. Inexperienced Managers 5. Poor growth prospects
