      Workday - just not the same....

      Pros

      Some of the great people I have ever worked with.

      Cons

      Influx of middle management has significantly changed the culture. Employees promoted from within as if there are no other logical step for them - and they have no business managing people.

      Microcultures and growing pains as company scales

      Pros

      Good work-life balance, very family-oriented. Solid benefits/perks (amazing by normal standards, but not quite up to the top companies in Silicon Valley).

      Cons

      Often unclear how promotion and reward decisions are made. As in most large companies, microcultures abound - some teams have better cultures than others. CEO and people directly below are great leaders, but next level down not so much. Strange demographics - 2 large groups: ex-PSFT (40s-50s in age, spent whole life in Ent SW), and recent college grads. If you don't fall into one of these categories, it may feel lonely. Cult-like culture around Dave Duffield and Workday. Not necessarily bad, but a little creepy.

      Sales Operation Leadership is Dictatorship

      Pros

      I loved working at Workday and would still be there if it was not for Sales Operations Leadership. This is a great company with many great, smart people.

      Cons

      I share a similar experience with the Sales Operations leadership. Having worked in other departments at Workday i know that the way this department is being run is not the norm. Unfortunately a lot of good people, dedicated employees had no other choice but leave the company because of the way they were treated but the Sales Operation leadership.
