Nothing But LOVE for Workday

Pros

Workday is the BEST company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for some really great companies. Time and time again I’m impressed. Leadership is open and honest. They treat us well with beautiful offices, free snacks, game rooms, team building events, family-friendly functions, and more. The company culture is a great foundation started by Aneel and Dave. What other companies have Fun and Employees as core values? If you are driven but not a bulldozer, work well in a team but don't need to be micromanaged, care about your customers, whether internal or external, and treat people as you'd like to be treated, with mutual respect and empathy, then Workday is the place for you.

Cons

My cons aren't with Workday. They're with the Workmates who are here and don't appreciate what they have. They lack one thing – gratitude. Instead, they’re entitled and it’s shameful. My friends and family are in awe of everything we have here because it doesn’t exist for them in their workplace. It's unfortunate to see negative reviews of Workday since it makes me wonder what the person who wrote it is doing to rectify their own situation. If you have a problem, address it with someone who can help (and that’s not venting to a co-worker, although that does feel good). Don't hide behind a keyboard with anonymous posts. It won’t get you anywhere. And if you don’t like it here, it’s pretty simple; find your dream job elsewhere and we’ll wish you well.

Great Company with Normal Growing Pains

Pros

Gone from start-up to serious competitor very quickly. Innovative, passionate people. Lots of opportunities, if you look for them. Fun. Honest. Open. Truly care about customers.

Cons

Managers a bit blinkered. Don't want to hear concerns and/or address them. Need to grow into structure and operations providing clear direction and guidance.
