Great Culture - Growing Pains

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative, mixture of experienced professionals and college grads. Fun Culture, community oriented, great physical space. Dog Friendly

Cons

Going through growing pains. Many managers at the Director/VP level are not qualified or experienced to handle growth and typically are promoting those with "years in" versus ability to scale the organization.

Internal IT - lagging in thought leaders

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The overall culture is a good one - trying to keep a start-up agile mentality. Also big on charity and giving back. In general the compensation and benefits are in line with what you'd expect from a rapidly growing, successful Silicon Valley SaaS company.

Cons

The leadership within internal IT are not thought leaders in this area. Rather, they are reactive to whatever the business wants, regardless of whether it makes sense for Workday as a company. Also, they tend to be reactive to the latest sales pitches, and not analytical about what makes sense for Workday. They are not appreciative or receptive to area expertise that might not align with their view of the world. If you espouse erudition, this is probably not the department for you to work in. If you just like pulling in a paycheck, go for it.

Bad slow technology

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

People are friendly in general. Pays ok for yearly salary.

Cons

Use bad technology to program called XpressO. It slows devs down. Something that can be done in 1 minute in SQL, took me 8 hours to figure out.
