Pros

Let's face it, we have all worked for good and bad companies. To say that Workday is not the best company you can be a part of would be an understatement. It's a shame that people who are still employed with the company could have such harsh words for an organization that puts their employees at the forefront. Workday spends alot of money every year to make sure that our families are involved in events, provides us with awesome perks and emphasizes work-life balance. In addition, Management is extremely honest and approachable. What other large corporations can you call the CEO, Presidents and others by their first name when you see them in the elevator? They are always quick to answer a question and truly want to know what's going on. Sorry, they can't always sit down to have a personal conversation with you about your issue, they are busy RUNNING A COMPANY to make us as successful as possible. We are grown ups, use the appropriate channels provided to you. It's unfortunate that Glassdoor has turned into a wailing wall for those that no longer work at Workday probably for valid reasons. If you do still work there, I hope you change your minds. The grass is not always greener in the other side, no matter what to feel your entitled to.

Cons

I have no cons other than people who feel that they are owed something and complain when it's not "rightfully" handed to them.

Best Company I Have Ever Worked At

Pros

I've never worked at such a transparent and motivating company. They really, really care about employees and customers. Not that I've worked at bad and dishonest companies before, but it's a night and day difference because WDAY doesn't just say the "right" words -- they live by them. It makes me feel that I have to uphold my end of the bargain because it's about integrity and passion. It's about being creative, innovative and going the extra mile for everybody. It's fast paced and exhilarating.

Cons

I think some of the people have become negative -- maybe it's a reflection of our society in general because there is a sense of entitlement. These people should just leave. They're anonymous trolls that try to bring down morale.

Pros

Great people and great product!

Cons

Lack of vision and strong leadership. Most pre-IPO employees are apathetic and focused on their equity, not what is right for the customer and the employees.
