Horrible at reading uploaded resumes, and inputs information in all the wrong places. The modification buttons are unintuitive and consistently cause unexpected behavior. Not to mention having to create a new account for every single application, even though my password manager detects it as the same site each time. What is the point of constantly creating new logins and accounts? Especially given that each time, you have to individuall search and upload your skills, of which there are so many under slightly different formats and names.
This system wants to convince me that the designers' sole intention was to piss of candidates.

Incredibly counterintuitive
Incredibly counterintuitive and difficult to effectuate even simple tasks. Can’t imagine a platform/interface that is less user friendly.

What a joke
What a joke! We decided to switch our registration/student records from Colleague to Workday and it is the most clunky, too-many-steps-to-do-one-thing system I have ever worked with in higher education. So disappointed - to say the least.

I was going to apply for a job as…
I was going to apply for a job as Regenerative Agriculture & Sustainable Sourcing Senior Manager – LATAM for Unilever, but now I'm not going to anymore. Any other companies using wORKday should seriously reconsider, because more and more people are getting fed up with this useless garbage.
Autofilling never works. Complains my name is capitalized, and when I fix it, it won't register the correction, and wont let me continue the process.
So that's it for me when it comes to using wORKday. Many bad experiences in the past. This time with unilever was the last time.

Terrible Experience
Difficult to login, and nothing but babble on the rare occasion when you can. By far the worst employee portal I have ever dealt with.

The website doesn't like anything
The website doesn't like anything. Search for a basic degree...lol it locks up the computer. Doesn't like dates, doesn't like empty boxes that are totally optional. Needs to be eliminated. Paper and pencil are better.

Every company using Workday sucks
Workday’s HRM/ATS system isn’t just bad, it’s a nightmare factory designed to make job hunting even more miserable than it already is. It’s like someone sat down and asked, “How can we make applying for jobs feel like filing taxes on dial-up internet?” and then built this.
First off, why does every single company using Workday force you to create a brand-new account? I swear I have like 12 different Workday logins at this point, each with a slightly different password because one universal login is apparently too much to ask for. And for what? To get the privilege of manually re-entering my entire work history again because Workday refuses to acknowledge the résumé I just uploaded?
The UI feels like it was designed in 2003 and never updated. Clicking anything comes with a 5-second delay, and if you so much as breathe near the "Back" button, congratulations, you’re starting over from scratch. Mobile users? Forget it. Workday actively punishes you for trying to apply on anything that isn’t an outdated desktop.
And then there’s the best part: the application black hole. You hit submit, get a “Your application is under review” email, and then… nothing. No updates, no rejections, just pure silence. Did they even see my application? Did Workday just eat it? Who knows.
At this point, I’m not even applying for jobs anymore, I’m just collecting Workday accounts. Maybe if I get enough, I can trade them in for an actual job.
