Pros

Overall, it's a decent place and people still want Workday to be what is advertised. Generally, there is respect for individuals

Cons

* Understanding how to operate as a diverse workplace is largely lacking. Rather than updating our "game" and making new inclusive ways of working, people who have different backgrounds or approaches are seen as low performers and get pushed out. * Managers talk and gossip about employees entirely too much. It's unfair to the individual especially when they don't hear the feedback directly or given a chance to share their side. *Org leaders don't know what is going on with their teams. They are too busy helping sales or making the senior leaders happy with unhelpful processes to spend time on managing people. * Internal applications to other positions require current manager approval, which makes the process difficult. You are treated differently as soon as they know you're interested in something else. There can be micro-retaliations that are hard to prove, but you can feel it. When we apply outside of the company, no one knows. Why is it acceptable to require we share for internal?

Pros

People are good but upper managers are not.

Cons

upper management and the "co-ceo"s are a joke and don't care about employees. The product is subpar and the superbowl ad won't change that. They Layoff People and two weeks later have a Superbowl Ad with Ozzy, Kiss, Benatar, and Idol-Slap in the face of good people.

Corrupt QA

Pros

Workday is a good company to work for, but it depends on which team.

Cons

The payroll qa leadership is especially plagued with corrupt practices. Let me highlight a couple of things. We recently received our compensation updates. A lot of capable people were not given promotions even though they deserved it. And the message that was given is that you need to be performing at the next level to earn a promotion. Ok. But, recently we had a QA reorg, and there was a Sr.management opportunity given to somebody who was new to the team. They were not performing at the next level: lack of experience and capability. They have shown incompetence and are yet given opportunities WTF? Is there something illicit between sr management and the layers?
