Magic Gone - No Longer Reliable

Pros

Most Workmates are still great to collaborate and work with. I have solid support from my manager. Compensation has always increased steadily.

Cons

On the deployment side processes for successful deployments have been stripped. All the things that resulted in happy customers at go live and happy consultants have disappeared all in the name of maximizing profits. Consultants are strained, customers not happy, and deployments no longer feel stable. Workday primed deployments no longer have that special feeling.

Pros

CEO does a lot of burpees.

Cons

Lots of recent layoffs and constructive dismissals in the past 2 years. Benefit cuts, cost cutting (less snacks at the office), pressure from pressured managers, anyway, it used to be GREAT to work here. Morale is very low and this can cause attrition as everyone is out to protect their own jobs at all costs.
