Workday

The total compensation is still good.

Many different projects and products to potentially work on. If you're resourceful, you can find interesting and career-building things to do here.

Very diverse workforce and many nice people.

Nice office space with extras like snacks, showers, bike shed, etc.

The proprietary stack is archaic and a pain to work with. Nobody has found a way to move away from it yet; I'm not sure why.

Many people here have only worked in Workday and do not have experience with the technology the rest of the world uses.

If you come in as a grad to work on the proprietary stack, you'll be unemployable anywhere else.

The red tape is insane, and it takes anywhere from 6 months to a year to get approvals for anything new.

Endless processes are being added to dev teams, making it difficult to find time to actually build software.

Career progression is difficult and based mainly on being known and talking a lot.

The new CEO has no idea what a great software company looks like and continues to focus on selling more and spending less.

Great companies are not built on cost-cutting to stay afloat. You need to inspire and take care of the people, so that they are invested in building the product that customers will love and want. Workday is no different now than any of our competitors; we only have worse tech now.
