Pros

- Hours can be somewhat flexible. - Snacks can be decent - Can still find good people but the list gets shorter and shorter

Cons

What was a good place to work, now a shell of its former self ... A complete decimation of morale and culture due to widespread layoffs, cutbacks and outsourcing, all under the guise of "optimization". This has removed any sense of job security with people feeling replaceable and pretty fed up, along with being shamefully overworked and under paid. Opportunities have been completely outsourced to cheaper regions so don't expect any progress. A CEO more concerned about pushing an AI narrative which no one wants or believes in. His decisions have ruined the company and what it stood for.

Pros

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Cons

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
