      Just awful - Senior Softare Engineer Workday Employee Review

      Pros

      I enjoy watching the stock price tank every year and I find screaming at my laptop during all hands meetings to be cathartic.

      Cons

      The offices we are forced back into are filled with anxious, miserable workers who are primarily focused on not getting fired. Layoffs have eliminated so many good people, while leaving behind the sycophants. The work is boring, we are not honest with the public about being an AI leader, and leadership is lost. This company should be a last resort or a place to ride out the storm only. I know very few people who are happy.

      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.
