### "As an applicant that often runs into Workday's applicant software, I find the process tedious."

January 9, 2019

1.0

Overall, as an applicant, I found going through Workday's applicant software to be tedious, extra, and much slower compared to other alternatives, ultimately making me less likely to want to apply to Workday jobs.

Pros

\- It is probably good from the recruitment side as they gain better metrics and knowledge about their applicants. - It's fairly easy to use as an applicant to fill out forms.

Cons

\- Any job application that requires account creation is at a disadvantage due to the extra paperwork/forms to fill out. Overall, Workday greatly increases the time it takes to apply to a job compared to other options. Unfortunately, any job I'm applying to that uses Workday has a much lower chance of me wanting to go through the entire process. - Overall it seems like Workday is really focused on the recruiter experience, but not so much on the applicant's experience.

### "Easy to see all benefits in one location. Very easy to use. "

February 22, 2018

5.0

Very easy to use software with all benefits shown in a clear format.

Pros

Easy to use with central location for all benefits. The setup of the program structure prevents mistakes.

Cons

The only problem I have ever had was when setting up complex benefits where one option would invalidate another. Eventually worked through this.

### "It's payroll software"

August 16, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like the icons that are used with the Workday software.

Cons

I very much dislike that you have to click every single day in order to add hours and you can't press Tab to move to the next day. Also pressing the enter button doesn't confirm the hours and close the dialog box. You have to manually click enter.

### "Clunky user interface for job applicants"

April 3, 2019

3.0

Pros

Setup of the company branding aspect of the software is great and gives a company feel to potential candidates.

Cons

It's a very clunky user interface for job applicants - the loading of CV details can be a mess which requires a complete rework by the job applicants.

February 14, 2022

4.0

Pros

Il software è molto completo, si trovano moltissime funzioni che vanno a coprire degli argomenti molto vasti

### "We installed this recently and it has been great. "

June 27, 2017

5.0

Pros

All payroll and benefit information is readily accessible by the employee without having to talk with HR. Many processes have been automated.

Cons

The organization chart feature is a little hard to navigate at first and doesn't seem intuitive. Once you get a hang of it, it is fine and is very useful.

### "Very unintuitive and hard to get around"

May 6, 2023

2.0

I’m avoiding it at all cost. The HR isn’t very happy with it either.

Pros

On paper it looks great. That’s about it when it comes to what I like about it. Unfortunately this is a miss.

Cons

I have tried to use this app for a year now. It’s very hard to integrate new functions, even such as extra days being change by the legislature.

### "Apply Leave using This"

January 4, 2020

4.0

Overall it is decent for applying for leaves, checking leaves left, checking benefit details and doing other similar activities.

Pros

I used this product to apply for leaves and check my timeoff balance. I also used to or benefit elections. It can also show me my leave time left, history of leaves that i have applied.

Cons

Its interface is very slow and very diffucult to understand. For a small change lke updating bank details and adding nomiee there is a complicated process involved.

### "Easiest HR System I've navigated"

June 30, 2022

5.0

It's been a joy to navigate so far! Very intuitive and user friendly.

Pros

Everything within the software just makes sense in terms of where it would be located. I've found I always have difficulty navigating HR platforms but this one so far has been very user friendly to navigate.

Cons

I'm still pretty new in this platform so I don't really have anything that I dislike about it as of yet.

### "Workday Perf Mgmt is user friendly and effective"

February 28, 2017

5.0

Workday is used as our company's tool for performance management as well as compensation. It's extremely easy to use and very user-friendly. Anything you're looking for can be accessed within 2-4 clicks and the page is never crowded with too much information. In 2015, our company moved to Workday to house employee performance goals and reviews. This tool has the option to conduct reviews of direct reports and also has the ability to collect reviews from direct reports about their direct managers. There's an awesome audit trail as well as approval process. All changes are tracked and it's good that this tool allows the option for dual acknowledgement of year-end reviews (from the employee and their direct manager). Would highly recommend for companies of all sizes.

Pros

user-friendly and easy to use

Cons

### "Great product but pricey"

December 2, 2022

5.0

Pros

Workday is a great solution for HRIS, with a lot of features and APIs to integrate with other applications (we integrated it with our Dokmee ECM solution which stores our P-files).

Cons

Very pricey and modular based. A lot of APIs that can make it difficult to know which one to use for an integration.

March 20, 2019

### "Workday is super easy to use!"

May 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

Workday is so easy to use! Easy to access all aspects of payroll functions. Easy to check balance hours, paycheck stubs etc.

Cons

At this time, the only con might be there are not enough picture icons on the homepage. It would be great to have "sub" pictures under the main pictures.

Ease of use is one of the main pro's that I like about this software. It can be tricky to use at times, but is great overall once you figure out it's unique quirks.

### "Fairly straightforward and easy to use"

June 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like how you can easily choose time off. It is easy to submit goals as well, and the approval process goes smoothly.

Cons

More organization in the UI would be ideal - it can be kind of hard to see what goes where, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Pros

WorkDay is just great all around, everybody loves using it, and it makes the job go by quickly and painlessly

Cons

It really doesn't have any cons for me. It's an easy to use software that doesn't stop working or shut down when it shouldn't.

July 20, 2017

5.0

Pros

Configurability, UI, support , performance are good. Reporting module robust to support complex reports Lesser dependency on technical analyst

Cons

Unlike traditional rdbms, we need to create report for every analysis. Writing SQLs are easier. Platform for us to build custom solution will be good if they can release
