Workday reviews

Here is what Workday supposedly stands for according to their website: "Our core values give us a framework for leadership and daily decisions, and help us enjoy our time at work." "Most fundamentally, people are the core of our business. Without them, we would not have a business. We hire the best and expect great accomplishments." "Every investment and decision we make has our customers in mind, and we pull out all stops to make the satisfaction of our customers paramount." "We say what we mean, and mean what we say. We stick to our commitments, treat everyone equitably, and communicate openly and honestly." Unfortunately, absolutely none of this is true. For one thing, there are way too many managers and they only seem to care about what they are told to do (from other managers). They don't take advice nor do they listen to the people that make the company go. The company has lost sight of what's important. It's only a matter of time before the internal failures start to break down causing degradation of customer satisfaction. This in turn will be what causes Workday's eventual demise. If you want to go to a place where your opinion doesn't matter. If you want to be at a place where you work your tail off without any recognition. If you are a YES SIR and YES MAM person. If you want to go to a place where the internal workings change from day to day and nobody seems to know what's right or wrong from day to day. If you enjoy finger pointing and blame. If you want to work under the bad management. If you enjoy being called out for mistakes and not being recognized for the things you do right. Then Workday IS the place for you! But if you want great leadership, people who listen and respect you and believe in team work, I'd recommend going somewhere else where they will actually appreciate you.

If you are an engineer, I would recommend not working here. No matter how they try to paint it, XO is a career killer. Other companies are wising up to the fact that propriety technology and re-inventing the wheels does not make for good engineering. Salaries are waaaaay too low to be learning such a useless skill.
