Pros
Easily the most talented and intelligent group of people that I've been around. Everyone is willing to help and listen to their teammates.
Cons
It is actually difficult to find anything wrong. Perhaps IT support could be better.

RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Workday full-time
Pros
-Good local Office Culture. Everyone is friendly and willing to help out.
-Product itself is incredible which makes demoing it really fun and "easy".Cons
-They take advantage of being the "best place to work" by grossly under paying employees. on avg. 20-30K less than competitors.
-Promotions are extremely limited and difficult to attain.
-With recent leadership changes in the sales/presales organization there is less emphasis on the employees and a lot more on the bottom line. There have been cut backs and many employees internally are not pleased.
-Choose Workday if making money is NOT your priority.Advice to Management
At the end of the day if you do not pay your top performers or give them the promotions they deserve they will leave no matter how great Workday is. Expect a higher turnover rate over next year or so.

"Finance Ops: Great environment - don't pay attention to obvious smear campaign"

Pros
Great company, great culture. Very fast paced environment that keeps life interesting and challenging. Extremely supportive local management that puts in tremendous hours and effort trying to build something great.
Seriously if you aren't happy here - you need to take a look in the mirror. It's highly collaborative, and management really sincerely cares about you.Cons
You may have read a number of negative reviews about Finance Ops in Salt Lake City. It's obviously a smear campaign from a jilted current or former employee using multiple accounts to post what they want you to believe is representative of an overwhelmingly negative atmosphere. The problem is - that's the polar opposite of the reality which is obvious if you spend a few minutes talking to anyone in the department about their experience.
Don't believe this is an orchestrated campaign? Read all of the finance reviews chronologically in SLC. You'll see 1-2 posts every month, most of them positive. Suddenly there are 10 posts in a 10 day span in November - all with similar themes. Coincidence? You be the judge.
If you can't do well here, why have you not pursued other opportunities? The market is very employee friendly (lowest unemployment in decades), you are obviously a self-appointed superstar, and having exposure to Workday software is a hot commodity. No? You'd rather stay, be miserable in this *awful culture* and just complain to the world about it? Makes perfect sense.Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing - it's working!!!

"Fantastic work-life balance but needs work on compensation"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Workday full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Being a company that does enterprise software (a relatively tame field from a publicity standpoint) it's not as stressful to work at Workday than say Facebook or Google where breaking something means it's on the news at 6pm. It's a nice place to work- the pace isn't as frantic as it is with the big fish of the valley. Sales seems to be killing it too.
Cons
Compensation should be higher for a company that at this point is very well known and attractive. The tech needs to be updated and while there seems to be progress... Only time will tell.
Advice to Management
The longer you delay investing/fixing the tech that your platform's built on, the more costly it's going to be to fix.

Pros
Great people. Great environment. You can reach out to anybody and have a conversation, everybody is down to earth.
Cons
Workday has moved beyond that startup phase so feels more like a big company. Lots of products and moving pieces, hard to stay on top of all WD offerings.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Workday full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I've been here for a few years and it has grown a lot. So, its a little less free wheeling than when I joined, but I guess that's expected. Its been a fun ride, with lots of change and opportunity. It's very diverse for Salt Lake. The overtime is minimal or none, so work life balance is good, although I think the managers work more. I love the downtown location, getting lunch and taking a walk is easy, but that comes with some parking headaches.
Cons
Things change a lot, be ready to face new things as they come up. It is busy and more demanding around the quarter end and some people have to work more during that time. You need to pay for parking, which isn't cheap.
Advice to Management
Pay for parking and add a bonus program.
