Not a Best Place to Work

Pros

Benefits were good. Work/life balance is good. Compensation is good. Office and amenities are good.

Cons

Despite the core values on the front page of their website and talked about openly nearly every day you are an employee, I found Workday to be lacking in Integrity and putting Employees First. From the integrity standpoint, in our office there was an individual who was clearly bullying and intimidating others on the team. This individual was reported to management and HR multiple times by multiple people and absolutely no changes were made. In fact, on more than one occasion, when reports were made the reporters were intimidated by management and it was made clear that these reports were not welcome. As for employees first, this is a top down management organization. Despite the talk of collaboration and inclusivity, the day to day is not in the team's hands. It is dictated by management. Finally, there is a severe lack of Human Resources support compared to other organizations I've been in. Finding someone to talk to about HR-related matters was difficult and is clearly a part of the problem.

Pros

There are some good co-workers

Cons

The culture itself is horrendous. They preach a "tech" culture, and yet it couldn't be more opposite of that. If you want flexible work and time off, forget it. If you want good managers, they're rare here. You should really be looking elsewhere if you care about culture, your own happiness and work-life balance.

Pros

Facilities: snacks, showers, bike facilities and location. Market leading HR product. Massive success in implementing our product.

Cons

Pretentious. At times it feels the culture is only based on being "the opposite of other companies". Many old-timers stopped caring about integrating new blood and new ideas.
