Pros
- bagels every morning, telecommute, pet-friendly - store and restaurant discounts - near BART and mall
Cons
- Come here if you want to sink your engineering career. This place is filled with tech garbage no one really cares for like gerrit, openstack, and nagios. Their platform is built on proprietary language, xpresso, that is useless outside the company. - Many people come here from companies like SAP, DELL, and EMC to seek shelter and safe heaven under the illusion the Workday HR promotes as the company's "core values". - Most groups are filled with garbage tech workers - Workday tries to recycle them by placing them into roles they are unfit for. - Many managers are unsuited for their role. Promotion is run if you have influence in the Peoplesoft's boys club - former Oracle employees. - The salary is very low, low 401K matching, and subpar benefits. There is no free meals aside of bagels. You will have to spend money around to eat and it is not cheap! - This place feels like an unionized train station - no one says a negative word about the company, everyone goes "yes, sir" or "yes, ma'am" to their unqualified supervisors. - Reviews are completely biased. If you are good friends with your manager or someone above him/her, you will get good reviews. - HR is useless and a complete waste of company resources. Many don't show up to the office for days, only if there is a team meeting or company event. Many are spending time writing fake great reviews on public sites about Workday's culture. - The company is stuck in old school management and tech - there is no push for good tech like microservices and containers. - If you have an offer from Workday, please do yourself a big favor and go for a company that will help you grow.
