Vantaggi
Good snack program, drinks and pizza gatherings, other company parties. Nice modern office easily accessible by public transport. Option to work remotely once in a while (but not full-time remote.) People aren't too strict about time so you can be flexible to a degree. There are some genuinely good people who work here and they embody the "Workday culture" the hype is all about. Mostly they're older employees. New hires are a mixed bag.
Svantaggi
Pay is lower than comparable jobs in other companies. Compensation includes stocks up to a cap each year, but they're more trouble than it's worth. Some roles have 100% remote management which means people who are far removed from the Workday Dublin realities make all the decisions. Not all of these decisions are good. No possibility to work remotely full-time. No commute stipend, extremely limited parking facilities on-site. After about a year you will stop learning new things and the job will become routine. Some skills you gain will be non-transferable in other roles because of proprietary coding languages etc. Some of the managers are bullies, which includes senior management. You can get shouted down in very public ways for bringing the "wrong" ideas to the table, where "wrong" = "that the highest ranking person in that meeting doesn't like." Teams are very hit-and-miss like that. You can have a terrible manager and someone in the same job as you can have an amazing people leader on his/her team. If you raise concerns about management you'll basically be told to deal with it. HR are nice in person but useless. Serious concerns are being raised and not listened to. Problematic managers in general are promoted out of their teams rather than fired or disciplined. They can be the absolute worst to their teams, they can bully and belittle, but at the end of the day it's a big ole clique at the top and if you're not a part of it, good luck. Some managers are down right incompetent and make business decisions that hurt our product, but they're free to do as they please (again refer to the "loudest voice in the room" principle). There are a lot of empty slogans and corporate talk while we pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, but there is no vision and no direction. Another review said it as well: the loudest customer wins. Development is haphazard and it's not unheard of to have to pull extra hours for some unrealistic deadline someone with no technical knowledge committed to.
