Pros

- Great Pay and Benefits - Awesome company trips (travel) - Fun team and nice office

Cons

- Big expectations on workload - Expected to sacrifice personal life and work outside of normal work hours - New CEO seems to be taking us in a less culture first direction (which is what drove the nice team environment) and into a churn numbers environment

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.
