Advice to Management

If there is a new hire that basically everyone complains about you should take it seriously because there is a reason. One or two years down the line they are still driving everyone crazy. Please just swiftly deal with the issue instead of dragging it out.

Please stop hiring PMs and then giving them minimal training/ramp up time before they start managing a team. It's really frustrating to have a PM who doesn't even know the current capabilities of the feature they own trying to explain what the team needs to design. Eventually they will learn and get up to speed but it is currently a very painful process to get them there.

Please encourage managers to shut down the gossip mill (for lack of a better word). Its really hard to go to work everyday knowing that any mistake you made will be analyzed by EVERYONE. I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining this. Many folks I have talked to in real life and also reviews I see on Glassdoor allude to this aspect of the culture.

I've seen a lot of complaints about managers through Glassdoor (and I for sure know of some crummy mid-level managers in my org). Most of the manager fails I've seen have been outside hires. No matter how well someone interviews and their impeccable credentials you won't know how they are until they come into the org. If you take protecting the culture seriously you have to be more careful who you are hiring as managers and consider promoting internally more often.

Pros

Company as a whole is good. Lots of fun events to make employees happy.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the bad apples before you lose all the good people.

Advice to Management

I know you are trying hard to keep the culture strong, but without real opportunity it doesn't matter.

- Campus is beautiful
- Workday's intern program is phenomenal. We go on trips and get a lot of support.

Advice to Management

Offer better guidance on other business functions within the company to empower employees to branch out and try a role they would've never considered in the past.

Pros

Good people to work with.
Flexible hours.
Quite a few perks/events.

Advice to Management

Management needs to care more about individual growth for the employee. That's the only way talent is not lost.
Some teams are being treated completely differently than others because of managers...

Pros

*Support — Leadership teams are willing to share information and get you to take advantage of your core strengths.

*Amazing culture — We have a lot of fun at work. It can be a challenge to maintain a close-knit, inclusive culture in a large corporate setting, but Workday achieves it. There are always opportunities for improvement, but we have the right people/teams in place to ensure we're always putting our best foot forward.

*Development — Your experience at Workday is what you make of it. If you want to learn about an entirely new field, do it! We want to foster a culture of lifetime learning and having people at Workday who want that for themselves only makes us better.
