Pros

Flexible work schedule. Open to working from home and there are lots of employees who work remotely from home offices 100% of the time. Lots of employee "perks" and and fun contests. Promote healthy lifestyle with health club discounts, brown bag seminars etc… Product is great and getting even better.

Cons

1st/2nd level managers are still doing an individual contributor jobs and thus aren't effective leaders or communicators A lot of managers seem to be people who have just "been there a long time" not necessarily people who are true leaders. Manager Leadership training would be a huge help here. Career path isn't obvious nor discussed. PTO lags behind other companies.

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.
