Vantaggi
Awesome work/life balance. I work remotely most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. Also, have been able to take a lot of PTO :)
Svantaggi
I wouldn't recommend Workday to friends, for the following reasons. 1. No 360 reviews of management My team started off great, but due to complications all my managers were removed and we got completely new ones from companies I didn't want to get managers from. These managers are awful and there is no way to give them feedback nor improvement. My managers don't even meet employees once every two weeks like they promised when they first joined. I've only meet mine when I scheduled an appointment. Over half of my entire team has left due to frustrations with management. If there was a 360 reviewing system, perhaps upper management would have been able to prevent all the departures. 2. Whatever fun you get at Workday you are paying for significantly in your salary At Workday, they use the excuse that you're being paid lower than market value for the "fun" environment. Not all teams are fun at Workday, so it sucks to be on a team that is mediocre at best in terms of happy work environment and then to be paid lower for it, even if you are a pro at what you do. 3. Sexism I had to add this in, since the only critique my manager gave me during our company's feedback cycle was that I needed to smile more. There's nothing wrong with being quiet and serious; it's only wrong when you stand out as the only female in the room. Obviously there is going to be worse places than Workday, but I still believe the 1 star is justified since I was not given at all what I was promised and yet somehow got a 15k salary cut compared to market value.
