Pros

Workday is built for technology of the 21 st century. I definitely recommend Workday HCM products - definitely on the right technology platform and headed in the right direction. Workday has one of the best UI amongst its peers/competitors. Intuitive, easy to navigate, multiple paths of navigation etc...Easily configurable business processes, communication events and methods, good reporting architecture. Object/Action oriented approach gives another dimension to personnel data management. Not an antiquated relational database.

Cons

No on-boarding at multiple organizational levels post (Corporate) "lift off orientation" – spent a great deal of time operating blind. • On-boarding at "Location Level" was nonexistent. i.e., Next steps? Working From Home? Go to Local Office? Contact Info? Office supplies? • On-boarding at "Departmental Level" was sporadic at best. Very California "centric". • On-boarding at "Team/Job Level" – No real interaction or introductions if you were not in the California offices. No ‘Go-to Person’ as a contact/mentor. Experienced very little peer/colleague camaraderie. "everyone out for themselves" or "got my own problems" or "no time". • On-boarding at "Individual Level" was nonexistent. Travel Policy? Expenses? Emergency Contact List? Appropriate Contact Protocol? Department Manager failed to make expectations clear. - how would individual performance be assessed? - bonus and promotion criteria/opportunities? - clear and written “objectives” that stated accountable and measurable ROI were non-existent. - generalized discussions on “time to productivity” was all over the map depending on conversation and WHO you were speaking with. - never presented with documentation as reference, guidance, expectations or accountability. Terrible, Terrible, Terrible!
