Pros

I've worked with some great people and for some great employers. Workday stands out among the other organizations in my personal employment history as a place that really cares about treating employees well. Yes, our goal is to deliver software that delights our customers, helping them manage various aspects of their business. My daily reward comes from the terrific group of people that I get to work with on this journey. Through the various recruiting pings that I get regularly, I'm reminded that there are many places I can go and work, probably many of them would even pay me more. I choose to go to Workday everyday, to work hard with smart people I call friends for a company that cares.

Cons

No doubt our company is seeing some challenges as we grow. I see some employees having what I think of as the wrong expectations of what the company should do for them. This place was made great by hard working people that help one another. Follow that lead and we'll all be fine.

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.
