Pros

Halloween party, location, Dave Duffield, snacks and the HCM product which still has some advantages in the market. The new building will be awesome.

Cons

Project timelines are slipping, ugly politics emerging. It's hard to stand up at orientation and tell new employees what our culture is at Workday. The CFO has been concerned about our commitment to becoming profitable last year which didn't happen. Why did he move to special projects? This new performance management process HR rolled out in product is complex, time consuming and we can't enable it. The company morale is declining and the leaders come out twice a year for a few hours at the fairgrounds. We need strong leadership to take us to the next phase. The current leaders are all so rich I think they have lost the drive to win. Dave Duffield -come back and get us back on track.

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.
