      Great start but head start no longer exists

      Pros

      Good culture, good people, was great product, now just good

      Cons

      Culture is loaded with politics and favorite playing Amazing that 80% of Salespeople starve while 20% are the hero's. Usually the Mega deal guys. Product not able to pull off the "pretty" bright shiny object approach any longer

      The demise of security

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Workday HCM is better than the competing products. It is literally years ahead. The people who built it were visionaries and their vision will be paying off for years to come and keep the company going.

      Cons

      This is surely not a company it used to be. For example, security. It was one of the foundation stones and the security team had a strong unified voice influencing key decisions. Now it's fragmented, pushed down the org chart, confused and powerless. The management is in denial. While HCM is going strong, Workday new products are just not competitive. Ask sales about the Financials. And there is no accountability. HR is ignoring nepotism and diversity issues. The compensation is lagging. Highly political culture.

      Workday / Should be Work All Day and Night

      Regional sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The darling HR product but definitely not the darling Finance product.

      Cons

      The good days are gone. No Work life balance. Worked all day and night. A lot of people that are just fake. Sales Management uses the "F" bombs and a lot of pressure which is not motivating. Remote sales reps get bullied into going into the office which is mostly empty for face time except for certain meetings. Pushing their financials which is not top rated with finance folks. Unfortunately the culture is turning into Oracle. Look elsewhere.
