Culture issues stemming from management

Pros

The Workday product is amazing. The benefits and perks are just as amazing.

Cons

The culture in the Salt Lake office, specifically the Finance department, does not align with the Workday culture that the company prides itself on. The issue stems from the upper management and the way they treat individual contributors in their organization. It is very rare that management participates in office activities and events. Although we are given unlimited paid time off, some managers make it extremely difficult to take any time off. Employees are constantly bullied by upper management and it starts to affect the entire department morale. There is an obvious problem with favoritism as well.

Pros

There are some good co-workers

Cons

The culture itself is horrendous. They preach a "tech" culture, and yet it couldn't be more opposite of that. If you want flexible work and time off, forget it. If you want good managers, they're rare here. You should really be looking elsewhere if you care about culture, your own happiness and work-life balance.

Pros

I've been here for a few years and it has grown a lot. So, its a little less free wheeling than when I joined, but I guess that's expected. Its been a fun ride, with lots of change and opportunity. It's very diverse for Salt Lake. The overtime is minimal or none, so work life balance is good, although I think the managers work more. I love the downtown location, getting lunch and taking a walk is easy, but that comes with some parking headaches.

Cons

Things change a lot, be ready to face new things as they come up. It is busy and more demanding around the quarter end and some people have to work more during that time. You need to pay for parking, which isn't cheap.
