Pros
There are a lot of good things about Workday. It does care about the customers. The 97% customer satisfaction feels real - I've never seen a company caring more about the customers than Workday. Aneel and Dave seem to be genuinely trying to make it a better place. Workday has excellent student programs, it's actually so good that some people are complaining that non Generation Workday hires feel left out. There is a lot of diversity on the lower levels (what about the top level? Just go to the company website and open the leadership page and make your own opinion ...)
Cons
A lot of issues were repeatedly brought up in the previous reviews. For some reasons the company is refusing measure results based on some objective data. Instead it is all about subjective opinions. While Workday is proud about the good things it does, it is in complete denial about numerous failed and mediocre projects and teams and they continue to produce technical debt at very high rate. We routinely try to solve the same problem in many ways and instead of trying to choose the most efficient ones we keep dragging the obsolete and inefficient things on. Over time it's becoming increasingly frustrating when instead of doing something productive we end up burning most of the time on politics, reinventing wheel and getting through ever growing mess of technologies and policies. Yes, our HR products are still very competitive. But our internal culture is deteriorating quickly and it will eventually impede our ability to move forward. Workday compensation is below market and getting worse due to stock performance.
