Workday Consultant Reviews

Pros

Great company, extremely nice people, work on interesting projects and for strategic customers. Flexible working conditions and in general a fun place to work.

Cons

Expect to be paid between 30-40% less in Dublin than other Workday office and “work from home” locations in Europe. Annual salary reviews generally aligned with inflation, instead they focus on RSUs.

Pros

Great people, great culture, great products!

Cons

there is no negative side from Workday

Pros

There's lots of hype about it being a great place to work.

Cons

I've been at Workday five months. It's a total disaster. Most of the employees I've encountered seem to have no idea what they're doing or how a business works. This extends to managers. To make it worse, the more ignorant, the more arrogant. I have never seen anything like it in my 20+ years working. There is also rampant nepotism and petty politics that makes for a toxic environment. Give serious thought to what... you're getting into before you accept a job here.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employee surveys and stop obsessing over ratings by outside organisations. I am really concerned by what I see. I think you should be too if you want this company to survive. Also, why the emphasis on OKR's? No one has yet communicated to me a single OKR.

Pros

Great work life balance, paternity/maternity leave. Awesome people and awesome work environment

Cons

Sometimes have to work late? Sr Management gets lost sometimes

Pros

Great salary, environment that invests in their employees and gives them the tools to be successful. An environment where their values are reflected not only at an employee level but all layers of the organization to the very top. Great work life balance. A company who reads employee and client feedback and takes it to heart and action.

Cons

None so far. It really has been a great employee experience from interview to date.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing. The culture is echoed globally, the same type of fantastic people I have met in every region and office that I have been to.

Pros

Manager's are engaged and value your feedback The company seems to go out of its way to show you they care from snack programs, to having a care packaged delivered to your house there seems to be a lot of thinking about employees. Senior Management are very focused on ensuring the culture remains in tact as the company grows. The product is fantastic and it is great to be able to sell it with integrity.

Cons

So times it is hard to get some genuine constructive feedback as everyone is so programmed to be nice.

Advice to Management

Keep at it, stay humble.

Pros

Love going to work everyday.

Cons

Nothing at this time

Pros

Great pay, Great benefit, Work/Life Balance is good so far, some people are helpful

Cons

Workday portrays themselves as having a good culture but I find that to be deceptive. Some people are helpful and some people will completely ignore your pleas for help. It's hit or miss honestly. Thats definitely what I was sold during the interview process. Also, diversity is an issue when it comes to African Americans. They have hired a new diversity officer but that just appears to be a ploy to get a higher... rating on the various best places to work lists out there. There has been an increase in the hiring of people of color, but again, that just appears to be a ploy to look more attractive on the best places to work list. All in all, I would still recommend Workday to friends.
