Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

- 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.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.

Vantaggi

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Svantaggi

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
