Workday reviews

The values I just mentioned don't seem to be equally carried out in every department. The inside sales department is run in a fashion that doesn't represent the values the owners work so hard at implementing, which is a shame. Also, there seems to be rampant nepotism going on.

Workday was built on six core values—Employees, Customer Service, Integrity, Fun, Innovation, and Profitability—set by founders Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri. Carl Eschenbach has obliterated 4 of them after laying off 1750 long-time employees. Mostly level 5 high-paid, long-term employees were targeted. Workday once called its employees its greatest asset, but this changed under Carl’s leadership. But Carl has chosen offshore Costa Rican employees at lower pay rates for the future of the company and focus on share price. Things like Brainstorms, Community changes, and staff reductions that were designed to improve customer satisfaction have been eliminated. Integrity, employees, customer service, and fun are gone. There is no amount of coffee mugs, shirts, or branded jackets that can undo the damage. I would ONLY work at Workday to gain experience and resume clout, but I would constantly have one foot out the door. If 2, 3, and 4-digit employees can be laid off with decades worth of tribal knowledge, employee number 30,003 has no job security.
