Pros
Workday is very employee centric, and supportive of all people; embracing the variety of ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds that a global workforce brings. It is refreshing to work for a company that is socially responsible. Workday also has a number of perks, that while are becoming a standard in the Tech industry, are still nice to have. Things like an enhanced snack program, matching charitable contributions, and decent health insurance keep Workday a competitive employer.
Cons
A lot has changed over the years, and it hasn’t really been for the better. In Workday’s growth it has struggled to keep the experience the same for all employees. Managers have so much control over their subordinate’s Workday experience that many rule like they’re kings of tiny hills. In my time here I’ve witnessed managers cut salaries when subordinates moved 50miles away (but still within the Bay Area), managers insist that subordinates checkin on slack before going to the restroom, and managers creating jobs and hiring their friends to fill them. This type of behavior is just plain sad, Workday is supposed to be better than this.
