Pros

Top Management looks for innovative ways of employee engagement Overall the organization encourages employee flexibility and flexible pto options and believes in work life balance

Cons

Work-Life balance Individual departments do not buy into the overall organization policies. You are constantly questioned if you come in beyond 9am (like at 9:05). There is no empathy for working women or men who have kids. You are questioned if you take morning calls from home or work from home because you had had a extremely busy day with a lot of meetings and did’nt find time to commute to work. Processes Our department specifically, management hands over work to individuals at the very last minute when they don’t want do that kind of work. Everyone in the team is afraid to talk to top management. Processes are put in place to slow us down rather than to enable us. And these processes are not followed by management and they constantly override it. Career Enablement You are constantly compared to your peers who have more experience and told that you are not performing to a peer who has way more experience than you. We are supposed to have a career enablement model, how is comparing self to peer a career enablement model?

Culture issues stemming from management

Pros

The Workday product is amazing. The benefits and perks are just as amazing.

Cons

The culture in the Salt Lake office, specifically the Finance department, does not align with the Workday culture that the company prides itself on. The issue stems from the upper management and the way they treat individual contributors in their organization. It is very rare that management participates in office activities and events. Although we are given unlimited paid time off, some managers make it extremely difficult to take any time off. Employees are constantly bullied by upper management and it starts to affect the entire department morale. There is an obvious problem with favoritism as well.

Pros

Some colleagues are nice Nothing else I can think of

Cons

Micromanagement to the core. Very much toxic culture. Employees in this specific department are treated like they don’t even exist. It is just one person’s rule here. None of your interests or opinions are valued upon. They pretend And sugar coat things but no value for your skills. Any one can do anything. Training your backup will be your only job in the end.
