Not what it seems

Pros

There is still some legacy family-driven culture left from the Dave Duffield PSFT days. Halloween, bring kids to work, etc. If you want to learn how people manage up, this is the place. Products are good, customers are good. There are some really good people working there.

Cons

Extremely political, hypocritical leadership and a back-stabbing culture with many PSFT, Oracle and SAP leaders and for some reason tenure--not results--carries more weight. Hierarchical, can't get decisions made, lack of respect and authenticity. It's a strange place--and one that I'm happy to never set foot in again. Senior HR leadership weak and disconnected. Poor compensation well below market.

Could be a great place to work

Pros

- One of the better companies for people that lives in the east bay and don't want to commute - Good pay but not to compare with companies in the south bay or peninsula - Lots of good people that I enjoyed work with

Cons

- Lots of politics. I was told by someone that you need to have strong connections to PeopleSoft or Ireland / Dublin to be successful. First I was very skeptical but became a believer based on my personal experience - Dated technology - Political driven decisions - Frequent re-orgs

Pros

It's where the action is. Workday the product is the very best, cutting edge, dramatically improving with each release. Some very bright and good people.

Cons

Very cliquish, terrible benefits, they work you to death and there is little work-life balance. Also the pay is terrible.
