Pros

There are lots of opportunities to grow your career at Workday. It is a very friendly and family-like environment. There is an excellent balance of work and personal life. My experience with the management team, directors etc., has been one of honest and open conversation. The Workday system is definitely not something you can grasp overnight and then put a feather in your cap. And my experience has been that this was never the expectation. As Workday's products have grown, evolved, matured; so have opportunities for employees to get involved in the "next new thing", and to be part of an ever changing for the better product. Workday is constantly innovating and that makes for some very interesting opportunities to work on fantastic projects with outstanding and brilliant people.

Cons

If I had to think of 1 con it might be the salary. Some have stated that Workday is under market on compensation, but considering they are an Easy Bay company, the alternatives would be to travel to the Silicon Valley where you can expect to spend 3 hours of your day commuting and quite a bit on fuel and other expenses.

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
