      Pros

      They will not force you to cut off any of your fingers, toes, arms or legs to work here.

      Cons

      Terrible communication between employees and HR department. Worst on-boarding experience of my life. Received first pay check much, much later than promised. Cannot believe anything told to you by upper management of company.

      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.
