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.

worst platform and not friendly user.

They just updated the absence calendar for a "new experience". Well, the new experience means days in the calendar are filled up with my colleagues holidays, and I can't actually see which days I've booked off yet without clicking the drop-down on each day and scrolling down to see if I'm in the list. I should be at the top.

Worst app in the history of the world! It must have been designed by the devil himself simply to torment people.

Worst platform for applicants hands-down. Every time I encounter this platform for a job application I groan audibly. Clunky, doesn't integrate Chrome saved data properly, never parses CVs properly, has tons of repetitive questions you have till out over and over for each application, the list goes on and on. It is cancer.

I feel strongly that I have been a victim of ageism from this company (many applications filtered without reason, 27 years of SME level exp, but 50+). I have zero confidence in this company and at this point will refuse to even consider an employer that uses this platform. Employers do better. This is my personal opinion based on many direct experiences.

The worst app I've ever used, hands down. Nothing is straight forwards, clunky, can't get in half the time, took me over an hour to find my payslip which is the only reason I use it. We're forced on here by work. Obviously a forced collaboration. But it's honestly a horrendous experience and every time I need to go on it and access it I am filled up with frustration. Every single time. Terrible, I would never recommend.

Everytime a LinkedIn application pushes me into Workday I shudder at the thought of trying to use it
