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.

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.

If Workday truly valued their employees, a cost of living adjustment to keep up with the pace of inflation would go a long way.

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"

Long term employees base pay isn't rising up to market standards. External hires for similar position are getting paid more in base pay.

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.

Management has failed to create a culture of collaboration. Our team is one of individuals.

Learn to think independently, learn to solve problems instead of asking the most basic questions.

Walk the walk not just talk abiut it
Review from IT Dept · Posted 11 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.

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's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Let me not be bored, our team has long term goals/projects to work on but everything has to go through so many levels of management we can hardly ever make any progress.
