      Extremely Toxic with no future vision - DO NOT JOIN

      Sr software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The remaining collaborative and friendly people

      Cons

      Carl Eschenbach - new CEO only has a sales/marketing background and doesn't know anything about technology or AI. He is destroying the company culture and the company with his lack of vision. Terrible leadership across the board at VP+ levels destroying the company culture Literally everything is getting cut - fresh bagels, the number of trash cans so they could cut janitor pay, no more wellness $50 per month subsidy. The company is so stingy and yet the executives are making millions. All the smart and talented employees are leaving. Left will just be those who can't leave because they're stuck with only XO knowledge. This company is no longer inspiring or innovative. Take this as a warning. There is no AI strategy and nothing is being developed in house anymore. They only want to grow through acquisitions. Because of XO, the technology is very outdated and falling apart. This also results in ZERO career progression.

      Pros

      No pros. Sorry!! The place needs to change.

      Cons

      Stay away. Workday is not what it was a few years ago. We have managers treating employees poorly, and getting away with it. Toxic place. No growth. Full of politics.

      Leaders care more about money than people

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can't think of any pros...

      Cons

      Money hungry leaders care more about getting to $10b than about the people who work here. Lots of manipulation and scare tactics used by upper management, while pretending to care about employees well-being. Layoffs, changes to performance measuring, forced return to office... it's feeling very grim.
