Pros

Everything you read about Workday as far as how they treat their employees are true. People Leaders ensure they are there to support you in your work and in your personal life. Workday has very smart and talented people, but they also have some of the most caring and compassionate people you will ever meet and work with.

Cons

There are no cons that i have seen or experienced.

Our approach to diversity is simple—it’s about embracing everyone. 

We're committed to building a more equitable world, starting within our own organization. We hire and develop a diverse workforce, cultivate our employee-first culture, shape corporate policies, and invest in underrepresented communities around the world. Because the more diverse and inclusive our teams are, the more we can succeed and thrive in an ever-changing world.

In 2020, we announced our commitments to creating more equity in the workplace and in our communities.

We’ve also signed the:

  • White House Equal Pay Pledge.
  • Business Statement for Transgender Equality.
  • CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Pledge.

Employee Belonging Councils.

We believe that belonging happens when communities connect. Through Workday Employee Belonging Councils (EBCs), employees build knowledge, create safe spaces, foster innovation, enable business initiatives, and engage in community outreach. Workday’s EBCs include:

  • Black @ Workday
  • Dosti (South Asians)
  • East Asians @ Workday
  • Families @ Workday
  • KAMPI (Filipino and Pacific Islander)
  • Latinx
  • Pride
  • Women @ Workday
  • Workday for People with Disabilities 
  • Veterans

We have 34 EBC chapters around the world with several thousand employees involved. 

Career Accelerator Program.

Workday’s Career Accelerator Program (CAP) is a four-month paid program for veterans to receive the training needed to launch a successful career in technology, with the potential to convert to full-time employees at Workday. We’re proud to say that 80 percent of our CAP alumni hold permanent Workday roles, spanning across functions from software engineering to quality assurance and more.

Our Values

You’re not just at work—you’re at Workday. 

Workday’s values are at the heart of our company culture. They drive our daily decisions, identify our focus areas, and help us enjoy our time at work.

Employees
Employees are the core of our business. They are the source of our success and our number one value. After all, our employees help us build a great company and a world-class product.

Customer Service
Customer service influences everything we do. From building products to serving customers, we pull out all the stops to give our customers the very best. It’s why we lead the industry in customer satisfaction.

Innovation
We love to test new features, dream big ideas, and create original approaches—because the status quo is just not good enough. It’s this thinking that keeps us at the forefront of technology and allows everyone at Workday to innovate.

Integrity
We fundamentally believe in doing the right thing, even when it’s difficult. We say what we mean and mean what we say. We honor our commitments, treat everyone equally, and cherish honesty above all else.

Fun
Sure—we work hard. But we enjoy our days, too. From community and company events to following our passions outside of work, we enjoy deepening our connections with one another and going beyond business as usual.

Profitability
Profitability is important, but it’s how we achieve it that matters. So we do the right thing, live our values, and make every day count. Because we know profitability is a by-product of happy employees and happy customers.

Technology

The world is changing faster than ever before. Our cloud-native technology platform is designed to be agile so we can change with it. That way, we can take advantage of the latest technologies—like conversational UI, advanced analytics, and machine learning. It’s why we come up with bold new ideas every day: so our customers and employees have what they need to innovate and take on tomorrow.

Check out our Technology Blog to learn more about what we’re working on.

The Power of One.

Workday is designed based on a concept we call “The Power of One.” This model empowers us in ways that weren’t possible in the legacy software industry. The Power of One has several unique advantages:

  • One version. Every Workday customer is always on the latest version of our software, with no disruptive upgrades, allowing for faster innovation and less risk.
  • One experience. An intuitive and informative experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices makes for an engaged workforce.
  • One architecture. Workday stays up-to-date with the latest technology trends and innovations in the industry without sacrificing availability or performance.
  • One source of truth. A single system for finance, HR, and analytics that provides total visibility and a way to act on it.
  • One security model. A single, continually updated, and flexible model that spans processes, data, and devices.
  • One community. A community of highly collaborative customers and an actively engaged product team that help us innovate for the future of enterprise software.

Happy employees = happy customers.

Our leadership team recognizes the direct connection between our game-changing applications and happy employees who, in turn, make our customers happy. And with a 97% customer satisfaction score, we know we’re doing our jobs right.

We are looking for people who want to push the boundaries of design, security, and development. Check out our different teams and current openings on our careers site

Social Responsibility

We’re making better use of our own resources—such as making our cloud computing services 100% carbon neutral and investing in economic opportunity for all. By protecting the planet and the people who call it home, we’re finding new ways to unleash human potential.

Sustainability.

Workday’s Sustainability program supports our commitment to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. Workday is powered by 100% renewable energy and achieved net-zero carbon emissions in 2020. 

Learn more about how we’re driving meaningful environmental solutions.

Workday Foundation.

The Workday Foundation partners with organizations that provide underserved job seekers with the technical skills and opportunities they need to secure well-paid, lasting employment in the tech sector. From funding things like coding camps for girls to technical training for veterans, our impact grants are our primary tool for making a difference and transforming lives.

In tandem with the Workday Foundation, Opportunity Onramps™, our workforce development movement, provides paid training, internships, and job opportunities to candidates from non-traditional backgrounds.

Giving & Doing.

Workday employees around the world run, walk, mentor, advise, feed, read, develop technology, serve on boards, and even grow mustaches for meaningful causes. Our Giving & Doing program matches employees’ charitable donations to qualified organizations of up to USD 1,000 per year. Employees are also encouraged to volunteer in groups of five or more and receive a grant for up to USD 5,000 for their charity partner.
