      Awesome Rollercoaster!

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best technology; great people who are in it for the ride, not the cash; huge growth; focus on customer happiness (not screwing them for short term profits); a joined-up and exciting narrative; very honest about flaws and getting better at solving them. Positive, enthusiastic, professional staff - walk the floor: everyone is friendly and you won't know who the VP's as everyone is so friendly - no ivory towers here!

      Cons

      Not as aggressive as competition; growing pains can leave gaps in the organisation and its processes can be clumsy.

      Fun place to work, but management could use training

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule. Open to working from home and there are lots of employees who work remotely from home offices 100% of the time. Lots of employee "perks" and and fun contests. Promote healthy lifestyle with health club discounts, brown bag seminars etc… Product is great and getting even better.

      Cons

      1st/2nd level managers are still doing an individual contributor jobs and thus aren't effective leaders or communicators A lot of managers seem to be people who have just "been there a long time" not necessarily people who are true leaders. Manager Leadership training would be a huge help here. Career path isn't obvious nor discussed. PTO lags behind other companies.

      Excellent Employer

      Senior engagement manager

      Pros

      Workday has innovative technology, highly intelligent and motivated co-workers and offers you the ability to manage your work arrangement for flexibility and balance. We work hard and achieve excellent results.

      Cons

      Workday is still a young company and suffers from immature corporate processes. For those who work outside of the Pleasanton corporate offices, communication can be blurred and opportunities are not as clear. In addition, unclear career paths seem to be the norm.
