Pros

Some bright, interesting, articulate people in many cases. Some really bad managers but .... I've met some really nice people.

Cons

At this point, I'm not sure there are good reasons to work here. No work/life balance at all. Workday. Worknight. Workweekends. No support of the unlimited PTO -- downright discouraged, in fact. It is a scam! Everyone pastes on a smile but employee resources are short and to do lists are long .... and salaries are laughable. The patina wears off and people start to talk --- there are some really unhappy campers, here.

Pros

Snack program, flexibility to work remotely, many co-workers are fantastic, bright colleagues. What Workday "say's" they stand for. Various events to bring the larger Workday population together.

Cons

Next to no ability to grow professionally. Significant hurdles from middle management layer. Career limiting in many areas. Shameful where an employee's mood is predicated upon what kind of a mood the manager is in or whether the employee needs to deal with the manager. Common mood on the team of walking on "egg shells". Around Workday - frequent lowering of morale. What was acceptable one day, changes next week, and right back to the original a week after that.....

Sales Operations - Beware

Recommend

Pros

Workday overall is a great company and has a bright future as long as they continue to deliver on their expectations and goals. Many of the departments at the company are held in good standing and truly embody Workday's core values while others do not.

Cons

Sales Operations is one of the departments that doesn't embody Workday's core values and at times has the illusion of a functioning department all while the reality is much the opposite. Business etiquette is childish and there is a constant "tug of war" of consistency between management. Good ideas are taken and executed by others and credit is rarely given where it is due. Management talks down to employees who are treated as if they are expendable and pawns apart of a larger bureaucratic chess match. Overall, it is a disaster.
