Pros

Good name to have on the resume Great products Free snacks Fun coworkers Workplace is pretty cool Lot of energy

Cons

Horrible managenent Unlimited PTO is a hoax. An absolute lie. No 401 K match Mid managers care more about their own growth than the team's or employees' growth. Very biased and very judgemental managers Lots of inner circles with older employees and it is impossible for new employees to fit in Proprietary technology which makes it impossible for employees to leave Workday Internal transfers are impossible as much as workday makes it look like its so easy to do it Big divide between teams Payroll team has the worst managers. Lot of politics, lot of favoritism. The lady managers seem very political

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
