### "HCM and ATS of your dreams"

August 2, 2021

5.0

Pros

I absolutely love Workday. I am not just saying this. It is super easy to navigate and has great reporting functionality. I love how easy it is to share candidates with hiring managers and other recruiters. I love that everything done in a candidate profile can be tracked. I have been able to hire so many for employees than I did prior to Workday.

Cons

Honestly, my only negative is on our company's implementation. We should have done more training but it wasn't a Workday issue

### "Sad to not have Workday"

March 25, 2022

4.0

Overall, Workday is a good product with good support.

Pros

Workday was easy to navigate and very intuitive. A new employee could come in that was unfamiliar and quickly be up-to-speed. We had several upgrades, each making the process better each time.

Cons

We could not be on our own cloud, making the organization more vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Overall, I've been a user of workday for more than 5 years. Once you get the hang of using it, it will be a very helpful tool as an ATS in recruitment.

Pros

Very detailed and easy to use once. You can easily track candidates , do job postings and pool for candidates.

Cons

The user interface can be improved. Also, sometimes it is slow

September 29, 2023

5.0

I am happy. I can concentrate on my life away from official job while Workday HCM gets the job done with high level of dependability.

Pros

I decided to keep Workday HCM for several reasons. First, I wanted to go smart with technological payroll handling, processing, audits and flexibility over workday payroll. Second, I wanted a software with more robust approach to job and the goals I have. It has driven my ambitions positively towards achieving them.Third, I wanted a balance between work and my personal life. I can now concentrate more on matters away from official job.

Cons

Pleasure to comment that I have none. Nothing in the features I like least. I find everything helpful and up to standards.

### "Very useful for all aspects of information for companies "

September 20, 2022

4.0

Pros

You have an all in one product that is smooth and easy to understand. There are so many useful tools that utilize so many options that eliminate multiple software programs, and not having to go back and forth for this or that, streamlines almost every department in your business.

Cons

Since it requires for employees to be actually in or around stores for time clock data to work, some may feel that they are having their employer snoop on their every move or listens to their personal conversations, so they feel privacy is being invaded.

3.0

Pros

I liked that it is one stop solution for many companies with respect to recruiting HR and finance related solutions. Since many features are in one portal navigating becomes easy.

Cons

After we have applied for job role for a company , we cannot go back and edit the application after submitting . If this feature could be improved. It would be great.

5.0

I've had a great experience using Workday so far, it's a great product

The user interface for workday is super easy to navigate. I'm able to find what I need quickly. The mobile app makes it easy to submit and keep track of requests even away from my desk

### "Fantastic for Structured Approach"

January 30, 2023

4.0

Overall, a good experience with Workday HCM. Like any other complex software, it takes a while to learn and can be overwhelming when working within the system. If you are a user who will be using the system in depth, you should expect to rely on a consultant or training for the first few months until you have a decent grasp on it.

Pros

One of Workday HCM's greatest features is its connectivity. As you implement more domains than just HCM, the system has great integration between its parts. This allows for better reporting and information as a whole.

Cons

Workday HCM is built to be a very structured and cohesive software. In order to maintain this, you lose some of the ability to customize, compared to if you were using a free-flowing code with no limits. The structure ensures that system updates or custom objects never impair different parts of the system or cause breakages. However, on occasion you can run across something that is not possible to build within the software.

### "Workday Review"

August 28, 2023

2.0

Application is not always user friendly for people who are not good with computers, some tasks and well build in application while others are faulty and don't always work.

Pros

Features like booking time off, education and looking at paystubs are easy to use and are well build

Cons

Some tasks on app such as correct banked time off, posting job and adding new employee are difficult and not user friendly.

### "Quick Tasks Provided Within Accessibility "

January 12, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with Workday is accessibility. We have monthly QR reports and Workday has come in handy when reviewing over my goals, feedback, and performance reviews. Workday allows me to update my account, provide my payment information and compensation, and if any need to change/update my profile updating my information has been no hassle.

Pros

What I like most about Workday is their documentation upkeep. You have all your available resources within one browser such as payslips, worker documents, request time off, personal information, and performance. You are able to change your place of birth or marital status without sending or mailing letters to HR for assistance.

Cons

What I least like about Workday is we have time-sensitive documents and we are not able to go back and review previous signed-off documents if needed such as Job offer letters and acknowledgment documents of company handbooks or regulations.

### "Workday HCM: Well-Rounded Resource For Employees, Management, & More!"

February 16, 2023

5.0

I highly recommend Workday for any organization looking to streamline and simplify various work-related aspects for their employees.

Pros

Workday has several, crucial components for employees in one place and is very user-friendly. One of the best features of Workday, from my user experience, is the training platform, which includes training options, from onboarding to ongoing education and development to topics relevant to my role.Additionally, the updates section is a great way to stay connected to what's happening within the company and stay informed about news , updates, etc.

Cons

I have not found many aspects of Workday that I would consider cons! The only experience I have had which was not as smooth as others was searching for documents or information that I know is housed in Workday and not being able to find it as easily as I felt I should have.

### "Powerful, but cumbersome"

August 28, 2018

3.0

Powerful tool, but there is a huge middle ground between basic and pro users that need to understand how the platform works that have no access to training materials and little support from Workday itself. Has a lot of potential, but marred by clunky and antediluvian UX

Pros

Reporting - almost limitless functionality in terms of getting reports on salient information. Can pull just about anything, and as long as the data is clean at point of entry, it will come out in an Excel file very readable and easy to read Linear Process Maps - particular processes are very well laid out and structured if done right the first time around Employee landing page - bright, vibrant, presentable

Cons

Cumbersome - quite slow. Redundant graphics slow down page transitions, reports take a long time to pull if you are looking for a fairly normal size file, some processes can turn into roundabouts Navigation - back buttons for some, but not all pages, which doesn't make sense (have to go back to home page if you click through to the wrong area). No real logic to how hyperlinks work in platform, leading to rabbit holes while trying to follow a papertrail to its conclusion

### "Workday is a one stop shop."

January 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

I can take care of all my needs with workday; input attendance, approve hours, submit terminations, job changes, etc. The employees also have access to their vacation and points. They can use it to look up some of their own information.

Cons

It was a little hard to use at first, it seemed like a lot of work. Once I figure some of the features out and how to use them, it got a lot easier and beneficial.

### "Workday is great as an HR hub as an employee"

December 5, 2022

3.0

Pros

I like that this product has all of the features that I am looking for in an HR software. It is easy to submit time off requests and see my PTO balance. It is easy to keep track of my paychecks and the direct deposit has always been seamless. I also really like the org chart feature that wasn't available in my previous HR software and we had to go through our intranet.

Cons

I love it as an employee but I really don't like it as a job searcher. When companies use Workday to keep track of their recruiting efforts, it is really clunky from the job searcher perspective. I have to create a workday account for each job application but since it registers as a Workday account, I might have 10 different workday accounts, for many jobs that didn't even give me a single interview. Don't make me create an account until after the first interview.

### "Workday in Accenture"

February 7, 2023

5.0

In accenture, employees are given the chance to track our own progress at work and this helps me a lot in checking payroll services as well as tax compliance

Pros

the product is very easy to use, specially to employees like us who are not receiving physical payslip. Workday gives employees the oppurtunity to personalize their own payroll information and trackdown their work productivity and other legal employee deduction like taxes

Cons

the software navigations are somehow scattered and is not organized

### "Wonderful tool to organize and keep track of time and expenses"

December 17, 2022

5.0

It is very user-friendly, I enjoy the fact that it's easy on the eyes and provides assistance and support if one is not able to navigate it. Overall, it is a great tool to avoid confusion on the payroll.

Pros

Very feature-rich and easy-to-use interface. Coordinates well with the remainder of the HR instruments through programming APIs. It permits the client to be in charge of time association and to have the option to plan ahead accordingly.

Cons

While it is truly adaptable, it very well may be confounding and challenging to configure the software to someone's liking.
