The demise of security

Pros

Workday HCM is better than the competing products. It is literally years ahead. The people who built it were visionaries and their vision will be paying off for years to come and keep the company going.

Cons

This is surely not a company it used to be. For example, security. It was one of the foundation stones and the security team had a strong unified voice influencing key decisions. Now it's fragmented, pushed down the org chart, confused and powerless. The management is in denial. While HCM is going strong, Workday new products are just not competitive. Ask sales about the Financials. And there is no accountability. HR is ignoring nepotism and diversity issues. The compensation is lagging. Highly political culture.

Fast growing and challenging

Pros

Workday was in a crazy growth phase. There were a lot of very smart people working very hard. I really enjoyed working with my peers.

Cons

With the rapid growth, the great workplace culture was lost. I was an early employee and rode the iPO ride. When I started it was a great place to work. By the time I left it was no longer the same. What a loss.

Pros

Definitely the best company culture I've ever experienced. People are genuine and engaged. Teams are growing and if you are savy enough, there are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of.

Cons

Growing pains of org. structure, but what growing company doesn't experience that!
