a very sales driven environment - to the detriment of actual engineers - Software Development Engineer Workday Employee Review

An over-emphasis on the role of the sales team - with a five day trip to the Caribbean for top salesmen every year, while the people that actually build the product that salesmen sell are asked to settle for free lunch on Mondays and Fridays. Unfortunately - the acquisition by Workday has slowed strategic decision making to a crawl. So great swaths of the Adaptive team are in holding patterns, wasting a lot of eager talent. Unless you are a salesman - it doesn't feel like anyone cares about your career success. The hiring process takes forever and ever - and it looks like Workday's processes will slow it down even more.
