Workday Software Developer reviews

- 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.

Limited exposure to widely used frameworks and development tools--this is especially true for Application Developers. On the Tools team you get more exposure, but it's mostly just Java and a little bit of XML processing. The problem is a "Not Invented Here" attitude, that results in more work for you and fewer employable skills to gain. A little too much company kool-aid; sometimes the hype gets to me. Not all managers are top notch (they get fired more rarely than employees) and some are just plain ineffective and annoying (but most of them were at least developers at some point). Also pay is low.
