Workday reviews

- Come here if you want to sink your engineering career. This place is filled with tech garbage no one really cares for like gerrit, openstack, and nagios. Their platform is built on proprietary language, xpresso, that is useless outside the company. - Many people come here from companies like SAP, DELL, and EMC to seek shelter and safe heaven under the illusion the Workday HR promotes as the company's "core values". - Most groups are filled with garbage tech workers - Workday tries to recycle them by placing them into roles they are unfit for. - Many managers are unsuited for their role. Promotion is run if you have influence in the Peoplesoft's boys club - former Oracle employees. - The salary is very low, low 401K matching, and subpar benefits. There is no free meals aside of bagels. You will have to spend money around to eat and it is not cheap! - This place feels like an unionized train station - no one says a negative word about the company, everyone goes "yes, sir" or "yes, ma'am" to their unqualified supervisors. - Reviews are completely biased. If you are good friends with your manager or someone above him/her, you will get good reviews. - HR is useless and a complete waste of company resources. Many don't show up to the office for days, only if there is a team meeting or company event. Many are spending time writing fake great reviews on public sites about Workday's culture. - The company is stuck in old school management and tech - there is no push for good tech like microservices and containers. - If you have an offer from Workday, please do yourself a big favor and go for a company that will help you grow.

Management is horrendous. No transparency, blame culture for shifting priorities, revolving door of middle management leaves churn for ICs to pickup the pieces. WLB is out the window. First it was talk to your team about return to office. Then it was this hybrid work model. Now its sit here from 9-5 3 days a week and we monitor that you do so. I can only imagine what it is like for folks with kids. It is not flexible at all. Stock incentive for total comp is out the window unless you work in PLS. New goal setting strategy for management is glorified micromanagement. Toxic politics lead to a revolving door of middle management without room for internal promotion. New CEO is a VC bro just milking every last drop of cash. DEI is out the window and it SHOWS at the leadership and team level.
