Pros

My Co-workers are amazing. Unfortunately so many have left and more are planning to.

Cons

Another review said it best. Soul-crushing! Nit picky good ole boys club. If you’re not part of the old regime, life will be hard. If you know the right people, you can pretty much do whatever you want. What they call feedback is a never ending barrage of criticism. You might get a “good job, now let’s talk about every little nuance that you could improve.”

New management not aligned with employee first culture

Pros

Most of the people you work with are friendly and eager to help.

Cons

A lot of the management has been changed in the last 1 to 2 years. Several old oracle managers. There is no value placed on work life balance, the management is very passive aggressive and the management culture is very cut throat and toxic. All of the focus is on profit magins and none of the statements about valuing employees or company culture focused on people seem genuine.

Pros

Workday started at a good pace with the right values. The product is overall great, with lots of interesting pieces.

Cons

Claims that it sets industry standards for HR/FIN/technology, while it lacks any standards. No corporate culture or values. Proved to be a very toxic place during the pandemic. No established career trajectories. Unexperienced management chain. Lots of nepotism. The company used to take pride and saying they are different from Oracle, it is becoming even worse. Pay increase only via stocks, very mediocre base increases.
