Remove Duplicates From Array

Given an array, return another array with just the ordered unique elements from the given array. In other words, you're removing any duplicates. Note: Order needs to be preserved, so no sorting should be done. And the order should be maintained with the first occurrence of the element in the given...

Sum Right Side Leaves

People at Workday Say

This information was sourced from reviews originally posted on Glassdoor.

Workday technology is good but I am don't like his management the way they are treating to partners not good. Because they are not listing to anyone they are so arrogant not giving proper example not proper training they always in hurry and they don't have any criteria for fail pass to employee in certification. If they want to fail you they will fail you the will not give you proper reason like why they failed you in certification they will give you silly reason. So according to me they should stop to play with employee sentimental and they have to give grade system like A,B,C that's it good not with % because already people are came to IT industry after cleared so many exam.

Management place importance on a good company culture, with an employee first approach that actually implement. 1-on-1's with my manager were always constructive and open. Opportunities to move departments, and for career progression. Competitive salary and RSU's. Opportunity to work with new technologies and to contribute to the selection of stack for greenfield projects. If you're in a role that is mostly Xpresso (WDay proprietary language), it can limit your career prospects.

Fruits in the cafeteria. Clean and neat office space. Work life balance. IT help-desk is very helpful and efficient. First of all "Great place to work" gimmick is mainly BS. Company is not on par in terms of benefits with other large tech companies around (like Google, FB or MS). Culture and work conditions varies largely depending on the department and team you are working at. I've seen examples when the whole teams were leaving their jobs in a course of less than 1 year. It's just shows an example how extremely unhappy people can be at the "Best place to work". The sad part is that nothing was done on the higher management side to correct the situation. Instead managers report how everything is "great", "positive" and "amazing" which totally contradicts reality. So depending on department/team it can be a good (I wouldn't call it great still) or bad to terrible place to work. Therefore if you are looking to join Workday ignore this "Best place to work" - it really means nothing, it's just a job at an average company nothing more.

I came to Workday as a new graduate, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. In addition to great salary, benefits, employee programs, etc. , the characteristic that really sets Workday apart is the people. The whole company really feels like one huge team, which I think is pretty rare, especially in contrast to other companies. There's a ton of trust, and the management structure is super supportive while totally avoiding micromanagement. It would be awesome if there were a few more options for subsidized meals on the Pleasanton campus, but the snack program is totally free + provides almost anything you need.
