Workday

There are tons of reasons why Workday is a great place. Although others are saying the culture is deteriorating, it is still very good. Work-life balance is great, and business prospects look good overall.

What a lot of people don't see is that the hiring bar is getting lower and lower because the company is trying to expand. Quality over quantity should be the mindset in recruiting. As a new grad, I've seen extremely brilliant (and friendly) people get rejected from this company, and not-so-brilliant people get in, which astounds me.

Salary is a huge issue. Everyone knows Workday does not pay enough, probably 15k under the market for new grads alone. If we want Workday's engineering reputation to increase, you cannot continue paying people so little. You are giving the truly talented engineers fewer reasons to choose Workday over other companies.

Standardize the interview and hiring process so that we can have accurate measures of technical ability.

Look at what others are paying their engineers, and make it competitive. Otherwise, we keep getting bad talent, and the company continues to deteriorate into neo-Oracle.
