My overall experience is a good one and I am glad there are such softwares that can be used for our professional needs.
I found it difficult to edit my hours when sometimes I would accidentally input the wrong times into the wrong date.
It has very reliable insights about workers which makes it easy to offer excellent work conditions which benefits both the company and the employee.
Some times you may not able to perform any action and you would probably do some wrong action due to unaware of things in it.
The biggest advantage of using Workday Benefits is how easy the website is to navigate. There is a mobile app that is very user friendly and then there is the desktop version as well.
Money pit - a software company that charges you for regular updates to their software.
Workday is a fantastic tool as an employee to see all HR-related needs in one place. The search function is great, it has a lot of features, and the navigation is very easy to use.
Their expensive user training courses are absolutely appalling for adult learners - 4 days in a classroom flicking through a 500 page bound workbook, anyone.
I love the ease of onboarding into Oyster and how fast and convenient it is to set up a new remote contractor from any place in the world. Invoice management is seamless.
Generic support is lacking, most of the time I have to involve my CSM which is hard on me and unfair to them.
My overall experience is that Oyster is a good product with potential to be great. We've used competitors and this is more user friendly.
At the moment there is nothing to make me feel uncomfortable with them.
Very helpful to have all the documents easily accessible across employees, contractors. The customer support is pretty great too.
For some reason you cant match my payments to the invoices, the billing is very confusing and you always think I havent paid when I have.
Oyster HR have a great help center team that maintain great communication whilst resolving issues/queries.
Sometimes the currency exchange rates and how they will affect how much we pay, is unclear.
Christos: My name is Christos. I am a senior compensation analyst, and I work for Braze Incorporated. And the headcount, I can give as well, which is 1,500 employees. Workday HCM, I would give a four out of five. Workday HCM is used for our payroll services within the company as just a generality. We use it to keep track of leave of absence, time off, bonus requests, just various different HR systems, things that we need. However, now we are using it to store salary bands, and that's more of where I come into play, where we're building out bands and storing them within job descriptions and job profiles within each individual employee and department. I just really enjoy the user-friendliness of the platform. It's really easy to navigate between the landing pages. Even for the compensation team, we have our comp dashboard, which allows us to pull this various reports that we're looking for, so that's very helpful and intuitive. But even as a user of just even being an employee of the company, it's very easy to go through my compensation, my pay history, my pay stubs, my bonus cycles, even just my managerial tree. It's an easy to navigate system, which I can appreciate. Especially if someone hasn't seen it before, it's easy to teach. I'm not necessarily the systems expert when it comes to loading in data and whatnot, but we do use a separate system for our comp cycles, which I understand can happen in Workday. However, from my experience, the reason why it wasn't a five out of five is just the way that the two systems read off each other. For me, Workday, even though it's intuitive when it comes to loading data, it's very fickle in certain circumstances since I've used it for the last three years, and I would just like to see a little bit more improvement in being able to be more modified towards these new systems that we're using, like the AQMS and the Oracles. I just found it rather difficult to... It's been the same for a while. I'd like to see a little bit more uplift when it comes to the loading of data. However, with that being said, I know there's room for improvement just from the platform's perspective on that, from a system side.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
