Pluspunten

- bagels every morning, telecommute, pet-friendly - store and restaurant discounts - near BART and mall

Minpunten

- 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.

Pluspunten

Workday is a truly values-driven company, and you can feel it every day. We’re in the middle of an exciting transformation to drive more innovation and speed, and while that has meant making some tough decisions, those decisions are always grounded in our core values. Employees and customers are consistently kept at the center, and there’s a real sense that doing what’s right guides how we operate and where we’re going as a company.

Minpunten

Decision-making can sometimes feel slow and unclear, as it’s not always obvious who has true ownership or final say. In a few areas, especially HR, leadership can feel more oriented around selling and positioning our products than around deep, hands-on practitioner experience, which occasionally creates a gap between strategy and the day-to-day needs of employees and managers.

Pluspunten

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Minpunten

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
