Pros

At Workday one of the core values are “People”. Workday invests so much time and money into its people. Workmates have whatever tools they need to get their job done. Open and friendly communication help you lean on your peers in times of need. Senior leadership and middle management support and fosters growth of individuals that want to succeed. Workday invests in the development of Workmates at every level with professional education and personal development courses. They recognize internal leaders and talent to promote from within. They empower workmates to do the right thing for customers and trust your judgement. Remote and in office workmates are cherished and appreciated regularly by the People and Purpose Team. Workday also has great benefits. 401K matching, low cost healthcare, commuter benefits, and much more. They also have bagels in the kitchen too.

Cons

I know you ask us every year, what can we do better, please keep asking and keep recalibrating. I would like more 401K matching and better geographic pay analysis (review where workers are and the changes in the cost of living).

Pros

* Company really cares about employees' well-being * Jerky managers are counseled out * Psychologically safe * Company is currently successful * Traditional top-down hierarchy works great for sales, operations

Cons

* Heavy hierarchy kills innovation * Internal innovation success has been mixed * Failure has lead to costly acquisitions, team displacement * The few teams that enjoy autonomy often build useless, buzzword-heavy toys to pad their resumes
