Pros

It's where the action is. Workday the product is the very best, cutting edge, dramatically improving with each release. Some very bright and good people.

Cons

Very cliquish, terrible benefits, they work you to death and there is little work-life balance. Also the pay is terrible.

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.
