      Pros

      - Pay - Unlimited PTO

      Cons

      - Garbage proprietary programming language - "Technical leaders" with experience only in said garbage proprietary language - Slow development—calls themselves agile, but they are really waterfall - No ability to innovate within the technical ecosystem - Very behind on the times (from a technical perspective)

      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.
