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.

The focus on collaboration for success.

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

Focus on the "Belonging" part of VIBE and not just filling up the numbers to get the right proportion of diversity official numbers. Look at teams (at the lower levels) that have a low history of hiring, promoting minorities...A lot of white women get promoted and celebrated but not other women

Review from Operations Dept

Foster a culture of being able to challenge status quo effectively. People pleasing and "alignment at all costs" is costing Workday millions of dollars in internally wasted time and in results.

Review from Operations Dept

Do all that can be done bot to erode the culture of what made WD ince a great place to work. A couple of 'bad apple' hires can be toxic.

Coworkers are great, but management does not think those beneath them work hard. Managers often openly speak poorly of others. Finance department in Salt Lake is toxic.

Review from Finance Dept

The company culture is great and genuinely trying to maintain this great culture. The managers in Salt Lake do not reflect this same culture.
