Pluspunten

The product is still the best in the market in terms of usability and has much potential in the market IF Workday can weed out the bad apples (specifically in management) before it brings us down.

Minpunten

My manager is a complete corporate bully and narcissist and Workday does seem to have a clue. He is allowed to mentally abuse me for lack of a better phrase, has threatened my career and played mind games with me all in an attempt to make himself feel better and feed his huge ego. I feel this is an indicator of a bigger issue at Workday with management and the amount of leeway they are given coupled with the lack of management training and experience across leaders, even at senior levels. Coincidentally, the times when I have been extremely successful are the same times my boss has decided to berate me, belittle me and overall try to make me feel bad rather than lifting me up, motivating me and helping with my career progression. His comments to me are in complete contradiction with the very positive feedback I receive from everyone else which is clearly a huge issue that needs to be addressed but unfortunately there is no one to talk to as HR for individual contributors is outsourced (surprising). There is a serious lack of maturity which I would expect to have in a manager and it’s almost to the point that I feel Workday is allowing a hostile work environment by not addressing the issues. The sad part about all this is that I love Workday (the product), I’m an extremely loyal employee and thought I would be here forever. I’m self-motivated, a go-getter and I have tons of energy and excitement but unfortunately that is waning quickly given how the company is allowing me to be treated. It’s a classic case of top talent wanting leaving because of a bad manager.

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

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.
