Workday Leadership Employee Reviews
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are concerned as much about the employees as they are about customers. Happy employees make happy customers.

Strike a great balance between professionalism and down-to-earth in their ability to communicate with us, set expectations, and lead by example.

I appreciate their dedication to our #1 value - Employees

There is a sense of authenticity that is coming back to the organization. They are genuine people that want to deliver good results together.

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.

Their level of transparency and focus on culture.

They have some vision and they are trying to work towards it.

I like that Aneel is back
Review from Engineering Dept
They care about employees but some decisions are still driven in a way that it does not necessary align with the core value about employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Credible, articulate, transparent, and caring
Review from Sales Dept
Aneel's leadership is very motivating.
Review from Operations Dept
We are begining to see more transparency.
Review from Communications Dept
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.
Review from Engineering Dept
Identifying and recognising toxic behaviour, making it clear it doesn't belong at Workday and acting on it promptly
Review from Design Dept
Alignment amongst themselves, transparent and honest communication
Review from HR Dept
Focus on outcomes and stop micromanaging high performers.
Review from Sales Dept
Focus on employees, focus on customers, be more transparent, and have a strategy
Review from Product Dept
There are a lot of new leaders in the past two years who come with their own agenda. Workday used to be grounded in doing whats best for the company focusing on our employees and customers. Now marketing and talking about work is considered more important than actually executing and doing the work.
Review from Operations Dept
Lots and lots of changes happening almost every week. Employee concerns are not taken into proper account. Company cutting cost at a huge basis from the services they provide to compensation movements etc. Doesn't feel like employee retention is the priority anymore
Review from Engineering Dept
Market pay adjustment. I am way below market rate despite performing to a high level. Stop changing stack ranking levels based on a force distribution - this is a morale killer.
Review from Engineering Dept
Address middle-management gatekeeping that prioritizes safe, incremental progress over high-impact productivity breakthroughs.
Review from Product Dept
Pay transparency, practicing company values
Review from Engineering Dept
Ensure we mive tesm leaders , weve had the sane people lesfers in EMEA financials fir too long
Review from IT Dept
Constant leadership churn as well as constant cuts to pay & benefits while still talking about how much they "care" about people.
Review from Sales Dept
Empathy and making workday employee centric again
Review from Finance Dept
Articulating a vision and motivating the workmates to deliver on the vision
Review from Product Dept
- we talk about growth, development and internal opportunity but there is none - we talk about empowerment and faster decision making but we add layers and talk things to death now. - we talk about location strategy, but we still backfill in high cost, CA, when you have capable internal cand elsewh
Review from Finance Dept
Doing the right thing, and integrity.
Review from Sales Dept
Listen to employee concerns that are directly reported to the Human Resources team. There are employees that are trying to ensure they have an equitable and respectful experience here and not having adequate support is causing workmates to leave.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Truly showing that employees matter at this point its really all talk. Keeping their word on what they are going to do, when they're going to do it and continuously choose to be transparent. Workday is not what it used to be.
Review from Product Dept
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
