Always problem with reding the payslip. Contracted hours a singled out as separate days not very easy to read on monthly payslip. I don't like the design. I much more liked the fourth- so much more user friendly. Not to mention, on schedules totally not redable. Simply don't work!

Consistent bugs
Consistent bugs, lack of flexibility to explain previous experiences and education when applying to jobs. Always makes me question whether it is worth applying to the job.

I have abandoned so many application…
I have abandoned so many application because it doesn't work for me 8 times out 10. This is where I get stuck, I try to create a new account by inputting my email address and creating a password 2x, when I hit create account, it gets stuck (it doesn't progress on my phone or the web). I just had this issue with Fact Sheet website.
It's happened so many times. Normally I check first, click through an application form, if it is Workday I DON'T BOTHER COMPLETING THE APPLICATION. Abandon ship.

Even when using this as an employee…
Even when using this as an employee starting a new job this software is atrocious. It's so so buggy. The password reset either doesn't work or doesn't log when you change your password. I can't believe workday is still in business who is using this and thinking what a great tool?

Not user friendly
terrible experience and I'm not just saying this because I'm bitter I have to use it for my college courses. I am trying to drop a class and it is insanely difficult for no reason, there are no clear instructions and hard to find where anything is on the site. Its a very confusing design because things are separated into sections which you think would be helpful but it is not. Things are just put randomly where ever the feel like putting them making actual productive things impossible. I hat4e this website and would not recommend anyone use it.

Workday ATS
Workday ATS, what a horrible system
Having been recently looking for a new opportunity, I've noticed quite a few companies use Workday. OK I though, I heard of the tool, though not met it from an applicant perspective.
And here comes the shortcomings. It fails to process the resume correctly, no matter how I format it.
It is limited to pre-selected options only.
Tedious, annoying, invasive (what's with the questions about religion, sexuality and age? is this even legal?) having now had to create several logins for several instances for different companies.
So far all my Workday applications have been rejected, surprisingly quickly. In one case it was a position I had two referrals for and the job description was like someone wrote it specifically to fit my CV. I wonder why it was rejected - was it some sort of AI, "computer says no" type of thing?
Most ATS I went through are mediocre at best, but Workday absolutely takes the cake for being the absolute worst.

Katastrophe für Bewerber
Katastrophe für Bewerber. Warum keine AI, die den Lebenslauf liest? Warum kein Abschreiben der bereits eingegebenen Daten? Gibt es Fleißkärtchen für das permanente Abtippen derselben Daten? Dafür nutzen Andere Computer!!!!

Workday Is a Cruel Joke for Job Seekers – Stop Letting This Trash Ruin Candidate Experience
Applying via Workday is the most mind-numbing, soul-crushing part of any job search. Every time a Workday portal pops up, I brace myself for another round of pointless account creation, typing the same info I’ve already uploaded, fighting with broken autofill, and rage-quitting after losing all my data when the session times out. The interface is ugly, confusing, and seems meticulously designed to turn away good candidates. It's shocking that in 2025, a company can make something this hostile to applicants. Companies: if you use Workday, you are definitely losing out on top talent—because I, like thousands of others, simply won’t bother applying anymore. Fix it, or prepare to keep repelling qualified people, one broken form at a time.
