Pros

Pleasanton campus appears to be a collaborative work environment

Cons

atlanta campus is growing not a lot of knowledge sharing. Have to pass HCM core straining in order to stay with the organization. This is not clearly stated in the offer letter

Pros

Great senior leadership, fun company events. All employees are invited to company meetings. Workday is leading provider of ERP in the cloud, stock is performing well, keep it up.

Cons

Many of the old reviews regarding the CSD environment from 2012 remain true well past their date. Senior management may not have any idea how bad it really became, or just didn't care; bait and switch. Limited career advancement from CSD, most after their CSD tenure end up in positions filled with recent graduates. Some have made it into very interesting roles, the majority went into other support roles not related to prospecting for new customers. Long story short: Your CSD skills have little value in other areas of the company. (Not worth it for all the grunt work that you're enslaved to do.) Especially if you have to do it in SLC. If you're interested in 2+ years of cold calling, only to find yourself rotating around to a somewhat related support role, be my guest. If you're passionate about sales, and you want a much more linear and logical career path, salesforce.com might be a better choice.

Pros

Company is growing fast and gaining market share. Good ride while the other ERP companies struggle to get in the cloud.

Cons

Very cliquey, and if you are not Peoplesoft alumni, your career options are limited.
