Workday Reviews

Pros

competitive salary free snacks lots of training opportunities scope to change role regular team outings/bonding sessions trusting managers (they focus a lot on manager training)

Cons

work can get repetitive after a certain amount of time but there is always opportunities to move to different products

Pros

People come first. This is a place where you can challenge & grow your career

Cons

Unfortunately it's easy to just tick the boxes & collect your wage at the end of the day.

Advice to Management

Challenge your staff more

Pros

Credible senior leaders, true customer focus, stock, snack programme. Supposedly the number one place to work in Ireland - I'm sure it is for many. Exciting revenue/stock growth story.

Cons

The employee experience is completely dependent on the team - examples of terrible middle management are increasingly and openly visible. There is a pretty solid ceiling to career progression for many teams in Dublin, and there is a lot of talk around internal mobility but I have observed managers work actively against employee movement. A lot of lip-service around employee led career experiences - for a bad manager this...

Advice to Management

Walk the talk -

Pros

They treat the employee as best as they can, really good work-life balance, and amazing benefits!

Cons

Working on a proprietary technology that is technically a "mess": not easy to maintain, not easy to develop with.

Advice to Management

Dedicate more time to let developers improve the existing codebase!

Pros

There 4 years The company crazy growth in Ireland has only brought more benefits and dedication to culture and employees. Pushing on candidate experience and diversity, but not in a tick the box way- more like: let's make it even better because cause we're proud of the company. The interns get a full program with a dedicated team in charge, and are hired after graduation. Grads have career dev program. Experienced...

Cons

Should push disability diversity efforts further

Advice to Management

Continue caring - continue hiring people who do

Pros

Good snack program, drinks and pizza gatherings, other company parties. Nice modern office easily accessible by public transport. Option to work remotely once in a while (but not full-time remote.) People aren't too strict about time so you can be flexible to a degree. There are some genuinely good people who work here and they embody the "Workday culture" the hype is all about. Mostly they're older employees. New...

Cons

Pay is lower than comparable jobs in other companies. Compensation includes stocks up to a cap each year, but they're more trouble than it's worth. Some roles have 100% remote management which means people who are far removed from the Workday Dublin realities make all the decisions. Not all of these decisions are good. No possibility to work remotely full-time. No commute stipend, extremely limited parking facilities...

Advice to Management

Listen to feedback and start pruning the bad people at the top. They're making bad decisions, demoralizing or bullying the people who work under them and promote their buddies instead of merit-based promotions. One of our core values is "employees", That means more than parties and snacks. Otherwise these people will run your company into the ground.

Pros

Everyone is super friendly, motivated, collaborative and open Work life balance & employee well being is empahsised Amazing company parties Great benefits (health, dental, gym benefit, pension scheme, etc)

Cons

The coding language that Workday uses has a lot of limitations

Pros

Excellent Benefits. Ok salary. Bunch of smart colleagues. Relaxed environment. Good opportunity to learn corporation's trick and tips.

Cons

Proprietary language, lot's of fake promises on career progress or side projects using common languages and tools. Easy to quickly forget what you learned during your career, I ensure you will spend the last 6 months of your employment there studying during the nights/weekends in order to get ready for the coming interview. Catastrophic middle management, I'is a corrupted club, if you are well connected your life...

Advice to Management

Don't look at people as just a way to get your next promotion. Main reason why you were hired was not just to get the big stock and travel a lot but concretely believe to be a real servant leader, care about people, engage them maximizing their productivity. All this in the interest of the company.
