Uppermost management - finance SLC

Pros

Our location has great people who work hard The majority of people are fantastic and I like coming to work every day. We have an awesome office and I love my co-workers.

Cons

Finance management/leaders in SLC are so concerned with culture yet do not actively engage in it. They demand accommodations for people who do not attend events in addition to demanding changes to plans which only benefit their team. They discourage their employees from joining local committees and blackball people who question their authority. They complain that our culture isn’t where it should be yet they won’t engage or work with our other local leaders and stakeholders. By not attending events and not participating on a larger level (outside their department) they send the message that we as employees can’t or shouldn’t participate either. They want to be “more like Pleasanton” but have a single minded and holier than thou attitude about themselves. Fix the leaders and culture will benefit.

Pros

- Good work-life balance. Everyone's really chill and carefree. I'm supposedly on a hardcore team, but it's not so bad. - Unlimited PTO (with manager discretion). People typically take ~20 days of PTO a year - No company is free of politics, but it's not too bad here.

Cons

- No technical growth for QA engineers. - Very little growth for Software Devs - a lot of proprietary tools and languages. - Low challenges.

Pros

Work-life balance is important here Decent pay Peaceful place Everyone here i very nice and will help you if you ask

Cons

Although everyone is nice, the people here are definitely not very ambitious or motivating. This is a good company to settle down and earn a good paycheck with benefits, but if you are young and ambitious, you may feel a little restrained at Workday.
