      Pros

      Started when company was a startup. Best startup ever. First 500-1000 hired - super bright, motivated. Pre-IPO EVERYTHING was amazing.

      Cons

      Company has lost sight of many of it's best attributes as a startup. Growing too fast, quality of employees has dropped a lot, filled with spoiled, entitled, just-out-of-school'ers. Lot of inequities of pay and position, many get moved up latter too fast and for the wrong reasons, much talent is overlooked and either is, or will soon be moving elsewhere. Personally interviewing now.

      Pros

      Up and coming company. Most people are rather nice and professional.

      Cons

      I voiced my opinion that Workday is not competitive enough when it comes to their benefits and compensation. Instead of doing something about it, I got let go.

      Pros

      - If you are the type who takes instructions and follows them without any space or time for creativity join this firm - If you also are the type who work better under inefficient leaders - Join this Company

      Cons

      - I agree with everyone else on this portal about Workday's Clicky culture - If you are in the in crowd you get away with almost anything. - There is no room for innovation or creativity, coz you are expected to follow procedure every single second of your time here. Creativity is for the higher ups, if you are in the low rung and want to be creative you are going to be shot down almost immediately. - The nickname - WorkDaynNight is very true. Hence no work life balance at all. - Don't expect your manager to help you figure out your career; strengths or weaknesses. She will have no interest or intention to contribute to your professional growth. - Benefits are the worst a Bay Area Tech company can ever offer. This is the part that is most frustrating - They do not like you moving around teams. They discourage that with all their might. ps: The key to success here is to suck up to HR; There is very little sense of confidentiality in that department.
