Pros

I love the company and what it stands for. The product is amazing and would consider it the best on the market. The company perks are fantastic!

Cons

The majority of the issues in the Sat Lake City office stem from the finance senior management. The middle managers are mostly great but do not have the freedom to manage how they see best; it is dictated by senior management. The environment is difficult due to the negative attitudes and how cut -throat it can be; the company in general is not cut-throat but senior management is. Senior management can be condescending to underlings which is widely known throughout the office. One example of this kind of behavior is the senior director ‘asking’ employees to do personal tasks (for the director) which are not work related. Many of the promotions have been due to being in the 'inner-circle' or by being a 'suck-up' it is sad to see a company that is so great be tainted by poor management. Policies that do not make any sense such as mandating which hours have to be worked have been put in place. These policies are NOT dictated by Workday but by what senior management desires. The feeling is many people would leave not because of the company but because of the management. They stay in order to vest their stock options, myself included.

Pros

- Amazing company culture - CEOs really encourage employees to put families first - this company cares about employees so much - passionate people to work with -I work on the a newer product so it’s a very progressive environment and we’re always looking for better ways to develop - amazing product with high customer satisfaction

Cons

- the company has grown a lot since I’ve been there which is good but at the same time the culture does feel a little different now that we are larger but executives really try to make an effort to keep the culture - if you want to live in the city, the headquarters are in Pleasanton so it is a bit of a commute
