Pluspunten

People, especially those that have been with Workday for a long time and embody the culture Workday is known for. These people are bright, humble, kind-hearted, and willing to go out of their way to help me be successful. I left Workday with many lifelong friendships and connections. Although it wasn't so much the case by the time I left given the size of the company, I had many opportunities to make significant impact on customers with the various products I led, either from scratch or enhanced. Being a PM at Workday for 6 years gave the kind of enterprise experience that many other companies value and seek. Despite my no longer being there, I am very grateful for my time at Workday.

Minpunten

Leadership quality, from front-line all the way up to the executive ranks, is sorely lacking. There was no clear product strategy/vision, priorities were constantly changing, and politics were rife. Workday grew too fast and brought in too many external folks that had significant responsibility/power but had no idea what Workday was about. What's worse was that they didn't trust nor respect their employees' input and experience. As a result, the culture Workday is so proud of is rapidly deteriorating. Many talented people are leaving for other opportunities.

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.
