      Good culture but limited understanding in machine learning

      Machine learning engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly supportive culture, good benefits, good work-life balance, flexible for working remotely, various use cases to work on

      Cons

      The company has very limited understanding in machine learning, resulting in unreasonable policies (data access, infra development, use case prioritization, etc.) from the top down.

      Great Company, Experience Driven by Manager

      Senior associate product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great growth potential - Flexible and relaxed work style - Extremely friendly and welcoming people you work with on a daily basis

      Cons

      - Mgmt at times can be strong willed and unwilling to listen to subordinates. This could be isolated to my team but there are a lot of former Oracle employees that tend to bring that older culture to Workday in their teams. - Slightly below average pay

      a very sales driven environment - to the detriment of actual engineers

      Software development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      lots of opportunity to learn - particularly with the acquisition by Workday.

      Cons

      An over-emphasis on the role of the sales team - with a five day trip to the Caribbean for top salesmen every year, while the people that actually build the product that salesmen sell are asked to settle for free lunch on Mondays and Fridays. Unfortunately - the acquisition by Workday has slowed strategic decision making to a crawl. So great swaths of the Adaptive team are in holding patterns, wasting a lot of eager talent. Unless you are a salesman - it doesn't feel like anyone cares about your career success. The hiring process takes forever and ever - and it looks like Workday's processes will slow it down even more.
