Workday reviews

Work-Life balance Individual departments do not buy into the overall organization policies. You are constantly questioned if you come in beyond 9am (like at 9:05). There is no empathy for working women or men who have kids. You are questioned if you take morning calls from home or work from home because you had had a extremely busy day with a lot of meetings and did’nt find time to commute to work. Processes Our department specifically, management hands over work to individuals at the very last minute when they don’t want do that kind of work. Everyone in the team is afraid to talk to top management. Processes are put in place to slow us down rather than to enable us. And these processes are not followed by management and they constantly override it. Career Enablement You are constantly compared to your peers who have more experience and told that you are not performing to a peer who has way more experience than you. We are supposed to have a career enablement model, how is comparing self to peer a career enablement model?

Pay is lower than comparable jobs in other companies. Compensation includes stocks up to a cap each year, but they're more trouble than it's worth. Some roles have 100% remote management which means people who are far removed from the Workday Dublin realities make all the decisions. Not all of these decisions are good. No possibility to work remotely full-time. No commute stipend, extremely limited parking facilities on-site. After about a year you will stop learning new things and the job will become routine. Some skills you gain will be non-transferable in other roles because of proprietary coding languages etc. Some of the managers are bullies, which includes senior management. You can get shouted down in very public ways for bringing the "wrong" ideas to the table, where "wrong" = "that the highest ranking person in that meeting doesn't like." Teams are very hit-and-miss like that. You can have a terrible manager and someone in the same job as you can have an amazing people leader on his/her team. If you raise concerns about management you'll basically be told to deal with it. HR are nice in person but useless. Serious concerns are being raised and not listened to. Problematic managers in general are promoted out of their teams rather than fired or disciplined. They can be the absolute worst to their teams, they can bully and belittle, but at the end of the day it's a big ole clique at the top and if you're not a part of it, good luck. Some managers are down right incompetent and make business decisions that hurt our product, but they're free to do as they please (again refer to the "loudest voice in the room" principle). There are a lot of empty slogans and corporate talk while we pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, but there is no vision and no direction. Another review said it as well: the loudest customer wins. Development is haphazard and it's not unheard of to have to pull extra hours for some unrealistic deadline someone with no technical knowledge committed to.
