The problem is with the employees themselves. There seems to be an unwritten rule to never ask a question if you need help. The response you will receive, if you ask a question, is to dig deeper into the software and you will find the answers.
The consultants are given the same training the clients are given, the examples in Community. This needs to change as Workday signs larger clients. Workday needs to invest in training consultants and the more complex issues of larger clients.
There is really no training for employees. If you come from a company that really trains employees on the system, has a mentoring system where you can reach out to others for answers and really has collaboration among it's employees, then Workday is not for you.
There are tremendous amount of private clubs in Workday and if you are not in one, of those clubs, you are not a value to the company. Most everyone is out for themselves and the next promotion.
I have personally attended meeting and events and never had anyone even speak to me. Not even a current or former manager.
People will not hesitate to stab you in the back or throw you under the rug to protect themselves or to elevate themselves in front of management.
You will be unable to reach utilization because of partner involvement. Partners will get the biggest majority of the work at Workday. You will spend a lot of time sitting on the bench without a lot of effort from management in getting you onto a project. If you are use to working and receiving you bonus, you might want to consider a partner firm instead of Workday.
