Pros

Let's face it, we have all worked for good and bad companies. To say that Workday is not the best company you can be a part of would be an understatement. It's a shame that people who are still employed with the company could have such harsh words for an organization that puts their employees at the forefront. Workday spends alot of money every year to make sure that our families are involved in events, provides us with awesome perks and emphasizes work-life balance. In addition, Management is extremely honest and approachable. What other large corporations can you call the CEO, Presidents and others by their first name when you see them in the elevator? They are always quick to answer a question and truly want to know what's going on. Sorry, they can't always sit down to have a personal conversation with you about your issue, they are busy RUNNING A COMPANY to make us as successful as possible. We are grown ups, use the appropriate channels provided to you. It's unfortunate that Glassdoor has turned into a wailing wall for those that no longer work at Workday probably for valid reasons. If you do still work there, I hope you change your minds. The grass is not always greener in the other side, no matter what to feel your entitled to.

Cons

I have no cons other than people who feel that they are owed something and complain when it's not "rightfully" handed to them.

Pros

The best technology and software in this industry. Company is moving in the right direction to take over the enterprise software market

Cons

Terrible pay, benefits, and culture. If you worked at PeopleSoft, or are one of the rare "chosen ones" who happen to fall into favor with the PeopleSofters, you walk on water. You get all of the promotions, merit, bonuses, stock, and compensation. You can be in the field and have a reputation of being awesome, but your direct management team won't recognize you, promote you, pay you, or develop you. Dave Duffield is definitely no longer around, and he took his culture and values with him, no matter what the company wants you to believe. Taking your comments all the way to senior leadership just gets you black balled and retaliated against. This is from personal experience, as after I raised my concerns, a large piece of compensation I was promised was mysteriously denied by upper management with no explanation given.
