      Financial Application Development - Stay Away - Financial Development - Developer Workday Employee Review

      Financial development - developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Great culture in certain teams. Flexible work schedule, free food, and get to work in Europe

      Cons

      Not very strong managers. Financial development use to have 60 developers. Today, there is 400 developers - just in one area! They over hired and brought in average developers - not very strong ... they just hired to meet the target number. The top manager is from Oracle and Microsoft. He can care less about his employees. All his managers are too scared to say anything. There is a turf war between Product Management and Development. The product's performance sucks. Large companies are not buying Financials. Development process is over engineered (taking Agile to the extreme!). Salaries are low, career growth for developers do not exist.

      Pros

      Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

      Cons

      Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
