      Good colleagues, good benefits, bad management, heavy management

      Sr. software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are very good. Great people to work with.

      Cons

      The proprietary language is disgusting and it's not used anywhere outside. Waste of time, energy, and brain cells. Too heavy management, which adds overhead to the developers under them. Too much hierarchy in management, which is not needed nowadays. Should actually have a somewhat flat structure where everybody produces. People are smart enough to manage themselves and their work. Use your knowledge and skills in building something not to poke into and give suggestions of what to do.

      Good work life balance, at cost of below industry standard pay

      Software development engineer ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They care about their employees & their culture Many teams at Workday allows for inter company mobility Good leadership at the C suite level, company direction & growth is great

      Cons

      Below industry standard salary Most good young engineers leave within a few years because company refuses to pay industry standard (something a lot of companies do that I will never understand, continuity & product knowledge is worth so much) Promotions are slow to go to the deserving, years at the company is the primary factor. Promotion cycles in general are slow & locked to semi-yearly cycles Middle management is murky, not straightforward/honest/realistic about pay structures and hiring practices. Seems as though they are coached to not be transparent Too much bureaucracy & too many meetings. Lost its startup feel & development can be slow paced at times Very political about letting employees work remote, very few exceptions granted Not really allowing remote work
