      Pros

      employee perks are nice. work/life balance is good. opportunity to learn new things thats all.

      Cons

      compensation may not be as competitive, compared to other employers in the area. Manager's seem to care only for the direct reports with whom they are in good terms or maybe friends from some of their previous employers, for the rest of the people on the team its just about hard work, taking up new challenges and at the end don't expect any recognition or promotion for all the good work you deliver. No recognition for any better job done, no growth expectations. Even after putting the Manager's through all the leadership trainings I guess nothing really changes, if the nature of the person is like that.

      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.
