I don't know how true this is, but I once complained about how unintuitive and difficult to use workday is. I was told, as bad as it is, it's considered best in its class.
I'm not knowledgeable enough, but are there alternatives to workday and are they actually worse?
Yeah, great question. Netflix, as you might already know, are sort of famous for being progressive in lots of ways, including & especially HR.
I asked a couple friends who work there what they use, and sure enough, the answer was Workday.
While there are definitely better alternatives at smaller scale (i.e. Zenefits), at that scale, the only ones I know of are Oracle, SAP, and TriNet, which all sound even worse.
Workday was fine in my opinion the couple times I had to use. The localization was actually really great!
Was able to fill addresses and contact information in the UK and Western Europe and it accepted the local formats and documents. I wouldn't be surprised if most competing tools are plain broken, for example requiring an address with a state which is nonsense outside of the US.
