      Wonderful workplace, but sometimes disconnected

      Pros

      Amazing people. Product is loved by customers and is genuinely the best in its space. Management is generally qualified and knows their work. Remote work opportunities and flexibility.

      Cons

      Remote work comes with its own challenges, and often groups or individuals can feel very isolated or disconnected from the company at large. Far too many internal systems and communication platforms further confusing where to go for information.

      It's Good, But . . .

      Pros

      Worked here in Workday's Dublin office as a manager for a little while. Enjoyed my time here but the company is suffering from many of the same issues other company's that are growing very quickly face. I experienced a lack of cohesive strategy from our VP. I was often asked to plan for my department's annual strategy without knowing what the overall company objectives would be; asked to prepare a full annual budget two days before it was deadlined to be submitted, and then told to increase headcount in my team and then after months of effort to have it snatched away to be used for another line manager for a new strategy direction that seems to have been plucked out of thin air. People stay at Workday for quite a while. I have a feeling that three or four years ago when the company was smaller, the teams were closer and more coherent, and I daresay more in line with the culture that the senior management of the company espouse on a very regular basis. Now, with so many new faces, that ethos is being diluted and eroded, and the culture is beginning to slip. But that notwithstanding, the people are great, and I would recommend it as a place to work.

      Cons

      Working as a manager, I found it a difficult environment. My own manager set for me no goals or objectives, and yet when my end of probation came I was hung out to dry for not making any of the objectives I was not set. The upper management seems to me to be confused. The product is good, but a bit buggy, and we have frequent customer outages. As the company has grown, these outages have increased as the company has been slow to adopt high availability networks and systems, and so the stress is beginning to show in the workforce. There is also a feeling when discussing with other managers that the flexible working conditions are sometimes abused by those less motivated employees who frequently work from home, and leaving those in the office to prop them up.
