Pros

* nice office location * competitive compensation package

Cons

* complete chaos in management - shifting direction 180 degrees every 6 months * culture in the office not as it used to be * unnecessary layoffs * life on promises: - promises of new product and expansion (instead there is a layoff) - promises of multisport for 2 years - promises of career growth and opportunities (instead you support legacy solutions)

Good place to work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Proves a good compensation package and excellent benefits. Good opportunities to collaborate across teams and do interesting projects. They hired good people and provide opportunities for you to be successful.

Cons

“The Workday Way”. Over my tenure I noticed many managers come in from other companies and then leave or get pushed out. If you want to be successful, start as an individual contributor and work your way up.

Good benefits. Not the company it once was

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Some teams have good morale still. Frontline leaders seem to want to get it right. Good work life balance. Flex work (50%hybrid schedule). Lots of helpful AI tools.

Cons

Not a fun place to work right now. Drastic shift in culture over past 3-5 years, especially after new CEO. Becoming more “big brother”. No longer the employee centric company it once was but leaders still say we put employees first. Constant, Wide spread paranoia about when the next layoff will be. Strategic direction pretty much follows industry trends. Workday doesn’t set the tone, just follows and goes the shareholders are happy. Internal mobility opportunities are lacking. Also Lack of diversity and getting worse with new administration selling to Fed.
