Workday Software Developer reviews

- Mandatory "diversity" training is basically pushing a political agenda. If you want to say "mother" instead of "birthing person" like they want you to, that's a conversation with your manager for not being "inclusive". Yikes. - Seasoned people are leaving and management doesn't even try to hold onto them. Ironic, because they were the ones preserving Workday culture. In my first week my manager who had been at the company for 5 years left and I had nothing to do for months as my new manager dealt with the consequences. - Strict no full-remote work policy. Doesn't make any sense either since many teams are distributed and meeting over Zoom anyways.

Xpresso can be a career limiting technology (though in my opinion it's a powerful technology). Your quality of life is VERY team dependant. Some teams are great, others have highly toxic politics. Pay is above average for smaller less established companies but far behind the more established ones. Promotions aren't common. It kinda feels like there is an "in crowd" and then there is everyone else. Flexible work from home policy isn't. You get Fridays to work from home and anything more that that and your manager will be speaking with you. Unlimited PTO isn't. It's 4 weeks per year that don't accrue and doesn't pay out when you leave.
