Great company, but culture is slipping

Pros

Brilliant people all working together to do amazing things. Best product on the market and really good technology backing it up.

Cons

Some senior leadership changes over the past couple of years are starting to erode the culture. People and customers first are core values, but as the company grows the focus is on metrics, not people.

Pros

Flexible paid vacation benefits/policy.....that is usually abused.....

Cons

Poor hiring practices, they are so desperate to compete in the big leagues that they hire anyone or settle for mediocre candidates and this happens at all levels. The Salt Lake City facility is the worst because they cannot find a good pool of candidates nor candidates with the experience to work with a company that wants to compete with the big boys.

Pros

When I joined during Covid, culture was everything you have heard of. Very diverse company except for most senior leadership. Nice campus. Supportive.

Cons

Something changed at Workday when Carl joined. The culture is noticeably declining—and fast. Many of us did not receive bonuses and merit increases this year with management making up excuses despite record profits. Layoffs (after the company lied to us) decimated morale. Return to office was sucking the life out of all of us. You didn’t pay us Apple and Google salaries to micromanage us 3 days a week? Internal mobility seems like it has stagnated and there have been whispers that management has been ordered to deny promotions.
