Top Review Highlights by Sentiment
Pros
Cons
- "What they meant by customer interaction was being sidelined and talked over on meetings by managers who were actively wrong more often than not." (in 11 reviews)
- "The recent reorganization and promotions of bad leadership into higher levels will only accelerate the turnover." (in 11 reviews)
- "Any advancement in your career comes at a cost (quite literally as you will have to pay back Workday's extremely expensive training if you leave)." (in 10 reviews)
- "no clear/standardize roadmap to move up or get promoted, leadership/management lack visibility to everyones performance, very little if any constructive feedback on annual evaluation (no formal quarterly or 6 month review), occasionally throws very junior employees with no experience into lead roles with no clear support to leverage, upper management tends to fail to listen and/or act upon employees feedback, engagement managers lack product knowledge regarding WD financials (not required to be fin certified), also lack a company wide formal learning/development program" (in 5 reviews)

Great people, great customers, acquisition changes
May 19, 2023 - ConsultantRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Collaborative has some of the best, most experienced consultant resources with whom I’ve ever worked. They have longevity in the workday ecosystem which has paid off with a loyal customer base. The acquisition by Cognizant, as to be expected, has caused changes in leadership and is impacting the family field type culture it once enjoyed. Hoping we can weather through this transition stage to be the largest workday implementation Services provider in the ecosystem.
Cons
See above for assessment on current state
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
6 months ago, there were lots of pros (culture, leadership support, transparent communications), but now the only remaining positive is the people who remain (for now).
Cons
Lack of leadership, trust, and communication; Former culture/sense of community eliminated (Chief Culture Officer and VP of Diversity and Inclusion both subject to RIF); Parent company transfers are being pushed into CS (aka Workday practice) leadership consulting positions without any prior Workday experience; Cognizant appears to be planning to replace us with as many offshore resources as possible

Pros
Decent welcome swag Flex Fridays
Cons
Everyone in leadership is Caucasian. Leadership is tone deaf. Business hadn’t been profitable in at least four years. Top heavy in leadership - the hierarchy is laughable. SG&A is purging money. No pay transparency- managers make less than their subordinates. HUGE pay inequities- good luck if you’re female. Bonus cuts

Pros
Good culture, seem to really value employees, lots of opportunity to lead/grow in your field, transparent management, good Associate Consultant program
Cons
It is consulting, so some weeks can be very busy while others are a bit slower. This can be a pro or a con, depending how you look at it.
