What do you like best about the leadership team?
The people first philosophy is something that I admire about leadership team.
Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago
Leadership has a clear vision of where they are planning to take Workday into the future. I can see the role I will play in the joirney and the path to get us there.
Review from HR Dept
Strategic, supportive, and transparent, the leadership team consistently delivers impactful and visionary results. :)
Review from HR Dept
They're empathetic while leading Workday to the next frontier.
Review from Marketing Dept
Visionary and instilling a People first culture
Review from HR Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
There's not a lot of mid level leadership power. Everything has to go "up the chain" before it can be enacted and that keeps things slow and unorganized.
Review from HR Dept
Customer service. Everyone in sales wants to achieve and exceed the goals set. New processes are welcome to drive effeciency and best practice , but leading with fear is not what drives results. t
Review from Sales Dept
Fair compensation, more of a customer focus, hire best talent, better communication, return to what made Workay great versus replicaiting the sins of Oracle and Salesforce.
Review from Sales Dept
There's a disconnect between the company's stated goals and the resources allocated to achieve them. For example, getting rid of talent and deep historical knowledge to save trivial amounts of money but at the employee's experience?
Review from HR Dept
Federal is a mess with the new leadership. The culture is being destroyed. Executive leadership in Pleasanton doesnt seem to recognize the issues. We have a toxic leader!
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Stocks, I think it is an essential part of the compensation package.
Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago
I'm paid very well for very little work / low expectations.
Review from HR Dept
The variable pay for TA - P&P team is 20% and thats pretty impressive! Altho stocks for P&P Could be slightly more for retention!
Review from HR Dept
Our stock grants and mental health benefits.
Review from Marketing Dept
We have great benefits however culture retains employees
Review from HR Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
more stock, higher base comp
Review from HR Dept
The market drmand has reduced and the type of customer buying is different from when Workday likely started out. The ability to make money is far less.
Review from Sales Dept
I noticed some inconsistencies in how compensation and promotions are handled, and I'd like to understand the process better.
Review from Finance Dept
The is no transparency with quotas. There is no benefit for tenure. A 33% reduction in assigned accounts should not tranlate to a higher quota.
Review from Sales Dept
I think that at the level I am at, my stock is low and im not at the midpoint - I think Workday has great benefits and takes care of their employees but pay $$++ for exec leadership and the comp for P4-M4 is not competitive
Review from HR Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Mutual respect, Following workday core values and keeping the human alive in Talent Acquisition.

This talented, high-performing team balances healthy, supportive competition with full inclusion. We consistently back each other up, creating a fun atmosphere that makes every workday appealing
Review from HR Dept
team work, care for each other, growth opportunities
Review from HR Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication skills! Many of my colleagues don't know how to talk to one another
Review from Customer Support Dept
skills, integrity and professionalism is lacking
Review from Product Dept
We need our leadership to stop getting in the way. Its enough to provude us with the objectives. We dont need constant checks and charts
Review from Product Dept
A lot of coworkers are great, but it can be very dividing between teams. And one of my workmates is rude and condescending.
Review from Communications Dept
There is not much excitement or drive in a lot of coworkers, most are just showing up to collect their pay
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
A sense of mutual respect and deeply rooted core values demonstration.
Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago
Great pay and lots of flexibility
Review from HR Dept
The culture is Inclusive and values-driven.
Review from HR Dept
What stands out is the genuinely inclusive culture and the strong sense of community. Going above and beyond to ensure people feel heard and supported, treating every employee like a true partner. This creates a positive, collaborative environment where everyone's unique background is valued.
Review from HR Dept
Our work directly impacts how we attract talent to Workday and I feel like i'm contributing. I feel like i'm making a change and enjoying the time I spend with my co-workers
Review from Marketing Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Focus on communications and actually caring about the employee experience. Actual efforts beyond well-crafted messages from the leadership team. The constant org changes also don't help employees feel like they are in a stable and sane environment.
Review from Communications Dept
Managers need to be more involved and take action when workmates are not creating a positive environment.
Review from Communications Dept
Invest to education, provide time for personal project, they may help for company as well, less management levels between lowest and highest
Review from Engineering Dept
1. Review leadership capabilities and PeakOn scores. Some leaders 'grew up' at Workday and are ill-suited for the corporate challenges we now face. 2. Provide a coherent BT strategy and align 3. Enforce CoC - follow up on value-violations 4. Diversity for all - not just gender or spec. ethnicities
Review from IT Dept
We buy in to our own hype some times
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
moved quickly, got to meet lots of team members, felt unbias and fair
Review from Customer Success Dept
The process was the nicest interview process I have ever been through, each interviewer I could tell was genuine and nice. The technical interview was somewhat relevant and wasnt meant to be there just to scare you or ween you out. Overall just a much better experience that other companies.
Review from Engineering Dept
people, the best bit it was
Review from Engineering Dept
Got to know the team I will be working with
Review from Design Dept
I was interviewed by my future peers
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Too many steps (the process is too long - 5/6 interviews)
Review from Customer Support Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Owning things and ability to build teams from scratch. It is pressure sometimes but it makes me happy to see people whom you have hired working with each other.

My friends, the work I complete and impact I make at the office
Review from Marketing Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It's hard to get the managers that I work with to provide direct feedback to me so I can change whatever is going wrong instead of going to higher levels of the organization
Review from HR Dept
Heavy shift towards profitability shifting away from historical values of employees and customers
