      Pros

      Recognized industry brand name has a positive image (for now).

      Cons

      Does not live up to it's reputation as a top employer. Worst experience of my career. Recruiter sold me on a top employer and the organization did not live up to it's reputation. Training boot camp is the worst, they work you to the point of exhaustion and then test you. Either you pass their exam or you're out. On-boarding experience was horrible.

      Pros

      Excellent product based on modern technology. True SaaS delivery model that eliminates the effort of costly upgrades and enables customers to be on the latest release. Visionary C level management however seems disconnected from the field.

      Cons

      Lack of understanding of local markets outside of US. Senior Management in California live in a "bubble" and have little appreciation of the field. Employees in regions that don't meet their quotas are underpaid compared to Oracle and SAP. The stock price has been lagging to compensate for the difference. Administrative processes are becoming a burden and it is hard to get things done so agility is negatively impacted. There is a clique of employees who joined the company early and they make the majority of decisions like promotions etc outside of the formal process.

      Pros

      Great software. Easy to present and a new way of doing business. Good culture at the US Head Office Campus in Pleasanton. Great group of talent.

      Cons

      The power of one is an overwhelm tag line. The Workday solutions bring other management transactional challenges. Does not live up to its reputation as a top employer. On-boarding experience was horrible and didn't provide the tools and knowledge to deliver efficiently in the first year ! originally, workday was a much better employer than Oracle and SAP. But they were corrupted by the arrival of manager from their competitors. And they wanted to bring their old employees.
