Pros

Great culture in certain teams. Flexible work schedule, free food, and get to work in Europe

Cons

Not very strong managers. Financial development use to have 60 developers. Today, there is 400 developers - just in one area! They over hired and brought in average developers - not very strong ... they just hired to meet the target number. The top manager is from Oracle and Microsoft. He can care less about his employees. All his managers are too scared to say anything. There is a turf war between Product Management and Development. The product's performance sucks. Large companies are not buying Financials. Development process is over engineered (taking Agile to the extreme!). Salaries are low, career growth for developers do not exist.

Pros

Snack program Workday products are not bad

Cons

1. Management is inadequate, don't know how to motivate employees, like to give orders and create fear. This company has by far the worst management (both upper and middle) I have ever seen. 2. Fake Workday's "aloha" culture. Employees feel pressured into answering positively to numerous surveys Workday imposes on them to boost up its image as "the best employer". 3. Strange culture of data hogging. People are fearful of sharing information and data, which is detrimental to productivity.
