Pros

Easy commute, free bagels, lower levels employees are strong,dedicated people just trying to get stability for their familes in the East Bay

Cons

Not a place for a women in tech to advance or be treated respectfully. Seeing this problem in Services, Sales, Dev, BT, etc. Toxic middle management With the change away from reviews, no more mandatory feedback from management which means most in the org are running blind to the expectations of their jobs, this is directly impacting your ability to be promoted. With the number of reorgs happening, it's hard to keep track of who you can work with to accomplish your job. This company places a lot of emphasis on culture, but it's a buzz word and not something engrained any longer.

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.
