Pros
The product is still the best in the market in terms of usability and has much potential in the market IF Workday can weed out the bad apples (specifically in management) before it brings us down.
Cons
My manager is a complete corporate bully and narcissist and Workday does seem to have a clue. He is allowed to mentally abuse me for lack of a better phrase, has threatened my career and played mind games with me all in an attempt to make himself feel better and feed his huge ego. I feel this is an indicator of a bigger issue at Workday with management and the amount of leeway they are given coupled with the lack of management training and experience across leaders, even at senior levels. Coincidentally, the times when I have been extremely successful are the same times my boss has decided to berate me, belittle me and overall try to make me feel bad rather than lifting me up, motivating me and helping with my career progression. His comments to me are in complete contradiction with the very positive feedback I receive from everyone else which is clearly a huge issue that needs to be addressed but unfortunately there is no one to talk to as HR for individual contributors is outsourced (surprising). There is a serious lack of maturity which I would expect to have in a manager and it’s almost to the point that I feel Workday is allowing a hostile work environment by not addressing the issues. The sad part about all this is that I love Workday (the product), I’m an extremely loyal employee and thought I would be here forever. I’m self-motivated, a go-getter and I have tons of energy and excitement but unfortunately that is waning quickly given how the company is allowing me to be treated. It’s a classic case of top talent wanting leaving because of a bad manager.
