      Good company, but their promises on diversity, equity and inclusion fall short

      Pros

      Good professional development (training); good fellowship among employees

      Cons

      DEI is all marketing; they need to work on this themselves before preaching to the world about how good they are at diversity. If you look at their leadership / management, you can see how many underrepresented people they have (which is not a lot). They put all the work on their ERG groups, but put very little value on the impact these groups bring to the company. Support from senior leadership is lip service.

      A mixed bag

      Pros

      There are great things about the company. While pay is below market, the benefits seem to make up for it in a big way. Leadership is probably the best I’ve ever encountered - they genuinely care about their people and look out for us. Aneel Bhusri is arguably the best CEO I’ve seen.

      Cons

      The size of the organization has created too many silos, many of which have lost touch with the philosophy of the company (“The Workday Way”). My manager failed to communicate effectively and was in over their head. Frequent shuffling and reorganization made for a difficult and somewhat degrading environment. And recent acquisitions, while good in a strategic sense, have not integrated well into the Workday ecosystem at all. Above all, don’t be surprised if you are hired for a role that was not as advertised or even misrepresented. To me that was the worst thing of all.
