Best Company I Have Ever Worked At

Pros

I've never worked at such a transparent and motivating company. They really, really care about employees and customers. Not that I've worked at bad and dishonest companies before, but it's a night and day difference because WDAY doesn't just say the "right" words -- they live by them. It makes me feel that I have to uphold my end of the bargain because it's about integrity and passion. It's about being creative, innovative and going the extra mile for everybody. It's fast paced and exhilarating.

Cons

I think some of the people have become negative -- maybe it's a reflection of our society in general because there is a sense of entitlement. These people should just leave. They're anonymous trolls that try to bring down morale.

Pros

- Emerging/Growing - Great Place to work - Very collaborative environment - Challenging but workers have a balance - Potential for job growth and development is definitely there

Cons

- Its a very good place to work for and there are very few cons that come to me right off the bat. A con would be the work demands but if managed well, you will have a nice balance.

Pros

Location near the freeway, snacks

Cons

100% agree with the negative reviews about how this place has gone down hill. Workday was once a very special place to work..but no longer. Now upper management has placed many people in leadership positions who have NO leadership skills. There is an abundance of weak, ineffective leadership that leads through fear and would rather keep talking about days past instead of making the tough choices needed to succeed in the future. If you speak up about the toxic environment that is stifling growth and causing talented, smart folks to leave, you will be branded a "problem" and bullied into leaving. Workday pays lip service to diversity. How many minorities are there at executive/senior level positions? Hint you only need one hand to count them! There is more to diversity than having a woman CFO. If you want a JOB just to pay the bills until something better comes along, by all means apply. If you want a CAREER, look elsewhere.
