Pluspunten

- If you are the type who takes instructions and follows them without any space or time for creativity join this firm - If you also are the type who work better under inefficient leaders - Join this Company

Minpunten

- I agree with everyone else on this portal about Workday's Clicky culture - If you are in the in crowd you get away with almost anything. - There is no room for innovation or creativity, coz you are expected to follow procedure every single second of your time here. Creativity is for the higher ups, if you are in the low rung and want to be creative you are going to be shot down almost immediately. - The nickname - WorkDaynNight is very true. Hence no work life balance at all. - Don't expect your manager to help you figure out your career; strengths or weaknesses. She will have no interest or intention to contribute to your professional growth. - Benefits are the worst a Bay Area Tech company can ever offer. This is the part that is most frustrating - They do not like you moving around teams. They discourage that with all their might. ps: The key to success here is to suck up to HR; There is very little sense of confidentiality in that department.

Pluspunten

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Minpunten

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
