Pros

Great company, great culture. Very fast paced environment that keeps life interesting and challenging. Extremely supportive local management that puts in tremendous hours and effort trying to build something great. Seriously if you aren't happy here - you need to take a look in the mirror. It's highly collaborative, and management really sincerely cares about you.

Cons

You may have read a number of negative reviews about Finance Ops in Salt Lake City. It's obviously a smear campaign from a jilted current or former employee using multiple accounts to post what they want you to believe is representative of an overwhelmingly negative atmosphere. The problem is - that's the polar opposite of the reality which is obvious if you spend a few minutes talking to anyone in the department about their experience. Don't believe this is an orchestrated campaign? Read all of the finance reviews chronologically in SLC. You'll see 1-2 posts every month, most of them positive. Suddenly there are 10 posts in a 10 day span in November - all with similar themes. Coincidence? You be the judge. If you can't do well here, why have you not pursued other opportunities? The market is very employee friendly (lowest unemployment in decades), you are obviously a self-appointed superstar, and having exposure to Workday software is a hot commodity. No? You'd rather stay, be miserable in this *awful culture* and just complain to the world about it? Makes perfect sense.

Pros

Get to learn about the Workday Financials system. Good benefits.

Cons

It comes down to who you know in order to move anywhere. It helps if you’re someone’s favorite, not just doing a great job. If your manager doesn’t want you to leave their team, they have the ability to shut down any options, which is completely against what the rest of the company stands for. Workday as a company is great, but SLC finance needs some changes if they want to keep their top talent happy and motivated.

Pros

Good people, snacks, laid back.

Cons

Politics. If the area you're assigned to sucks, you're going to have a tough time. Every day is the same so it's hard to not burn out. If your field reps aren't great, you're blamed.
