Pros

Early on the this company was exciting to work for, smart people working together. The ethic was more about exacting revenge on Oracle, they were the enemy. People did 'whatever it takes' to make Workday successful.

Cons

The last couple of years has seen a massive influx of mediocre talent, with a very bad dose of company politics. One of DAD's ethos is to never be afraid to speak up and question something that doesn't seem right. Sadly, doing so in today's Workday is career ending. Nepotism runs rampant, age discrimination and did I say mediocre talent are much the norm.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
