Workday

It used to be a good place to work, but it really went downhill in recent years.

The most incompetent management I have ever experienced in my career. A lot of micromanagement, no strategy, nor clear goals communicated. Most managers are a bunch of yes men.

Promotions and rewards are purely based on social circles. If you are not based in the US, or you are not Irish, you can forget any promotion or career path. Performances are not evaluated (this is also a consequence of the lack of goals for teams and individuals). A lot of nepotism.

Workload is not equally distributed, and you can have people charged with up to three times the workload assigned to others in the same role.

No training.

Forget about learning new skills at work; you will learn how to code in XO, which is a proprietary language with no value outside Workday.

Salary is subpar compared to other big companies. There is also a new policy to reduce salaries for workers not based in the US, purely based on market average salary, regardless of performance or cost of living. I am not sure if this is in line with their claimed Equal Opportunities, as it's like exploiting a market pay gap to their own advantage. What's the next step: officialize the exploitation of other pay gaps?

I have lost the confidence they will listen. Direct feedback has always been ignored, if not used for retaliation.
