What do you like best about the leadership team?
I appreciate their dedication to our #1 value - Employees
Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago
There is a sense of authenticity that is coming back to the organization. They are genuine people that want to deliver good results together.
Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago
Leadership at Workday over the past few years has been a revolving door. While there were some stumbles, they were recognized; leadership changes made; and hopefully getting the company back on-track.
Review from Product Dept · Posted 6 days ago
Their level of transparency and focus on culture.
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 6 days ago
They have some vision and they are trying to work towards it.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Putting engineering and the product first, we are alienating our core customer base with bugs, performance and cost concerns.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I've met all metrics for promotion other than an arbitrary bureaucratic "time in role" condition even though I have as much industry experience and ability as colleagues two positions higher than me.
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 2 days ago
Incremental raises are very low, basically a 'cost of living' increase. Raises do not seem to be based on significant contributions. I would feel more valued if I saw my compensation progressing in the salary band, instead of hovering in the middle for years.
Review from Product Dept · Posted 4 days ago
If Workday truly valued their employees, a cost of living adjustment to keep up with the pace of inflation would go a long way.
Review from Product Dept · Posted 6 days ago
There is disparity in work and pay at the same level. manager lacks vision, competence and is not fit to the culture. Good work, recognition and pay parity will make me feel better"
Review from HR Dept · Posted 7 days ago
Long term employees base pay isn't rising up to market standards. External hires for similar position are getting paid more in base pay.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 6 days ago
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Yes, they need to focus more on work, support each other rather than pulling down.
Review from HR Dept · Posted 7 days ago
Management has failed to create a culture of collaboration. Our team is one of individuals.
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 11 days ago
Learn to think independently, learn to solve problems instead of asking the most basic questions.

They financial and motivational support provided by the company to celebrate and engage people.
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 8 days ago
People like to help each other and there isn't the massive competition that happens in other companies. Feels like a community.
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 8 days ago
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
A focus on unblocking our teams, allowing them to operate independently towards shared goals. As is, there is far too much bureaucracy and middle management that slows everything down. This is demoralising, people want to do good work and are being prevented from doing so.
