Pros

Exceptional technology, helpful well intentioned but completely disempowered middle management.

Cons

-Senior Executive leadership dictatorial approach is formula for failure. -While claimed domain expertise is HR, HR systems are lacking, sub-par integration with benefit providers (I still get mail and email from benefit providers as if i work there!) and well below market benefits and compensation packages. -HR and legal team way over their heads -Middle management completely powerless and has no control over their domain. -Culture is not as described. It is long workdays for low pay and no loyalty in return

Not a Best Place to Work

Pros

Benefits were good. Work/life balance is good. Compensation is good. Office and amenities are good.

Cons

Despite the core values on the front page of their website and talked about openly nearly every day you are an employee, I found Workday to be lacking in Integrity and putting Employees First. From the integrity standpoint, in our office there was an individual who was clearly bullying and intimidating others on the team. This individual was reported to management and HR multiple times by multiple people and absolutely no changes were made. In fact, on more than one occasion, when reports were made the reporters were intimidated by management and it was made clear that these reports were not welcome. As for employees first, this is a top down management organization. Despite the talk of collaboration and inclusivity, the day to day is not in the team's hands. It is dictated by management. Finally, there is a severe lack of Human Resources support compared to other organizations I've been in. Finding someone to talk to about HR-related matters was difficult and is clearly a part of the problem.
