Too much internal promoting without a robust mentorship program resulting in poor leadership
Pros
Workday pays well with stock as part of the total package.
Cons
They don't practice the culture that they preach. Overworked is an understatement. Very little work life balance is offered. Even during COVID, people were overworked and then scolded when the company felt like there was a decrease in productivity - demonstrating very little sympathy for people attempting to perform their job while managing children doing virtual school. They use this as a continual excuse to not follow the industry in becoming a predominantly virtual company and telling everyone they will have to go back to the office (this keeps getting pushed off because of CDC recommendations, but remains their goal). Meanwhile, their profits are up, their stock is up, but most people only got cost of living raises this year. They're giving out less and less stock, despite their ever-increasing profits. They push political views via company email and attempt to brand it as something everyone must agree with. Unprofessional political opinions are openly shared at the executive level and during company meetings that have little to nothing to do with the business. Entirely too much internal promoting, resulting in a large percentage of upper management and key leadership that does not have the experience or mentorship to make the right decisions for the business, resulting in many lost opportunities. Success is hinged far more on a good economy and very little industry competition than high level leadership.
