WorkdayReviews of workday.com

For occasional users who have to encounter the considerable learning curve to do simple tasks, this is a productivity-killing platform. I teach at a university in Boston and wasted much of my day wrangling with this awful system, which was foisted upon us during the pandemic. Just another offloading of administrative tasks that would be more effectively done in a consolidated manner, rather than everyone having to become amateur payroll & budget specialists to navigate this non-intuitive, clunky, overloaded site.

If negative stars were possible... Workday is the biggest headache I've encountered at my job. I was fairly new and had only used the old system for one hiring season. We've been using workday for 3 years now and I still prefer the old system. It is anything BUT user friendly. It's not intuitive, there are a million clicks and steps to do a simple task. Whoever decided this was a good switch must have been out of their own minds.

If a job uses workday to hire I won't use it. Dreadful platform.

Tried to apply for job via the Workday platform… 1: When it tried to populate the fields with information from an uploaded CV or my LinkedIn profile it failed spectacularly, leaving me having to delete the gibberish that it had pulled across and type it all in manually. 2: In the "Education" section it referred to everything as a "degree" and formatted the fields accordingly, so I couldn’t input relevant industry related qualifications and training that are more recent and far more relevant. 3: Also in the "Education" section it only let me choose subject areas starting with the letters "A" to “D” so I couldn't choose, for example, “User Experience” because it didn't go as far as "U" and told me there was no result if I typed it into the search box instead. 4: After fighting a losing battle trying to make creative use of the narrow fields to include all the relevant information it timed out on me. This was in the last week. I had a similar experience trying to apply for a job via this platform a number of years ago, so it hasn’t changed at all since. Clearly they don’t tailor it to suit different countries or employ any kind of user testing or feedback to inform the platform’s improvement and development. It reflects very poorly on the companies that use it and its presence on a prospective employer’s recruiting platform should probably be taken as a red flag that the company you're thinking of applying to neither knows nor cares what complete mess is right under its nose.

this is the worst hiring platform in the entire world. it is literally worse than cancer. every single time you need to make a new account and none of the fields can be autofilled it forces irrelevant questions or information already on a resume. Stop using this product, literally any other provider does not do this. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HAVE SOMEONE WHO WORKS AT YOUR COMPANY TRIAL USE THIS SOFTWARE AND COMPARE IT WITH ANY OTHER PLATFORM. IT IS WORSE THAN CANCER AND CAUSES APPLICANTS TO BLACKLIST YOUR COMPANY OR NOT APPLY AT ALL.

Wont take a job that uses workday

Any companies still using this solution for job applications... STOP NOW! I physically can't even log in anymore, and even when I could, their subdomain model meant creating multiple logins for each company, and even when applying, the UX is time-consuming and cumbersome!

Can never use this trash when applying for a job. It always tells me there's errors. I hit "Apply with linkedin" yet it still forces me to fill out their terrible form. This has stopped me from applying to lots of jobs.
