      Career Killer for Application Development

      Applications developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Generally great and friendly people - Company cares about the happiness of employees

      Cons

      -Xpresso is the death of a career. Some internal initiatives are evidence to how unsuccessful Xpresso is and efforts to "revitalize" the language. Application developers hate it and other engineers openly mock the language that developers have to use. - Underpaid. Even after "market adjustments," application developers are underpaid compared to the industry standard. If you're going to make developers learn a new language and trap them to a poorly built construct, at least compensate them appropriately in return. - There's no concept of exploring new technologies as an application developer. Sure you can learn new technologies within Workday, but again they're all Workday specific that are not transferrable in any way. Workday only makes developers better for Workday, not in general.

      Learning Constantly and Culture is Amazing

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Since the company is growing so much, there are a lot of veterans and new faces. It is a good balance because the new faces that are young and old still bring a new perspective and prove that Workday is committed to the future. Every new hire has a mentor and someone to talk to about issues, like a buddy. I really enjoy it because I am a younger generation that might need some guidance on coding standards or best practices that only a veteran would know. I love the diversity of the company and the willingness for the company to love everyone. They hire for people, and train for the skills, so if you feel like you have the personality and the willingness to learn new things, this is the company for you. Also, there are free snacks!

      Cons

      Sometimes people have an issue with this "Unlimited PTO" because they don't know what that really means. If you talk to your manager though, they can tell you about how much they expect you can take (somewhere between 3-5 weeks a year is what I've noticed, swaying towards 2-3 for new employees)

      Company does not follow it's own core value

      Senior associate quality assurance engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The guys on my team were really nice and good to work with. The package is competitive. Good location.

      Cons

      My manager is the worst manager I have ever had in my working career. The company has employees as their core value but this is just a ride to the uninformed and the outside world. If you need support from your manager, he's not there. Favoritism runs rampant in the office and not the best or most deserving person gets promoted, but the person who brown noses most.
