Pros

*Workday Inc*  I absolutely love Workday and our core values; employees, customers, integrity, innovation, and fun. How many companies have fun as a core value??  Aneel, Dave, Robyn, Ashley, Chano, Diana and Petros are outstanding business leaders.  Our technology is the best on the market and our customers love it. *Workday Dublin*  The office space is really nice and the location is perfect.  Senior Leadership are really accessible, and they visit Dublin regularly, inc Aneel, our CEO.  Everyone is treated equally; we have a ‘first come, first served’ attitude.  The snack programme is really good and the roof-top garden is beautiful.  Fitness programme great and the shower room is really handy.  The Dublin parties are so much fun. *CSD Team*  CSD Management team have a great ability to hire incredible people.  The current CSD team are some of the smartest people I have ever worked with.  I don’t think I have once experienced ‘Sunday fear’ and I have a laugh every day.  Employees come from across Europe and each bring something different. Diversity is so important to us. *How we work*  I love that I am given the freedom/opportunity to get involved in other projects.  Management are supportive and allow us to work independently.  Individuality is encouraged, I feel like I can be myself at work.  We work hard, which can be stressful. If you like a challenge, then you’ll love it.

Cons

 Naturally, hyper-growth presents challenges. That’s normal for any organization.  Targets can be high, but that’s sales in general (not specific to Workday).  Given how hard the team work and the increasing workload - the salary is lower than expected. (everyone complains about pay - not specific to Workday).

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
