Workday reviews

The problem is with the employees themselves. There seems to be an unwritten rule to never ask a question if you need help. The response you will receive, if you ask a question, is to dig deeper into the software and you will find the answers. The consultants are given the same training the clients are given, the examples in Community. This needs to change as Workday signs larger clients. Workday needs to invest in training consultants and the more complex issues of larger clients. There is really no training for employees. If you come from a company that really trains employees on the system, has a mentoring system where you can reach out to others for answers and really has collaboration among it's employees, then Workday is not for you. There are tremendous amount of private clubs in Workday and if you are not in one, of those clubs, you are not a value to the company. Most everyone is out for themselves and the next promotion. I have personally attended meeting and events and never had anyone even speak to me. Not even a current or former manager. People will not hesitate to stab you in the back or throw you under the rug to protect themselves or to elevate themselves in front of management. You will be unable to reach utilization because of partner involvement. Partners will get the biggest majority of the work at Workday. You will spend a lot of time sitting on the bench without a lot of effort from management in getting you onto a project. If you are use to working and receiving you bonus, you might want to consider a partner firm instead of Workday.

Previous leadership team was not perfect; many of us were excited for the next stage TA and the new challenges ahead with new leadership. While not perfect I must say we had transparency and a clear road map of our goals. Morale was high and 90% of us were committed to delivering above and beyond for our hiring managers. The goals were challenging but we faced them as a team. Many of us faced long hours and we were extremely busy but we didn’t care because we had a united team and believed we were a key cog in creating one of the greatest companies on earth. In contrast the last 8 months have seen a gradual decline in morale, team cohesiveness and job security. We no longer feel like we provide a valuable contribution to the growth of this awesome company and now feel like a cost to the business. Permanent team members feel their job security is diminished and that their contribution over the last few years has been forgotten; some vocally and others privately are actively looking for new roles. Contract employees who joined believing that if they contributed they could have an amazing future here now feel that their stay is temporary. New managers and old have been asked to promote and implement new goals in our “transformation” without any road map or idea of how it will happen in reality. The toughest part of the current set up is that we are becoming less motivated, less willing to go the extra yard for the company and it is our partners and hiring managers who will be impacted. Unfortunately it is very easy to create “wins” and a perception of successes when the reality is we are suffering and it will impact how we deliver to our customers and promote Workday to our candidates in the medium and long term.
