Pros

The product is about the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Watch your back - leadership is out to protect themselves. Even though they get "rated" every week, you don't actually see any action if they are getting bad ratings. No growth opportunity as leadership plays favorites. The company is still small enough for key leaders to have their eyes on certain individuals who they want to grow in the company. If you are not on that list or one of their favorites, good luck, you will be stuck. Compensation is low in comparison to other comparable companies. I got a 2X salary increase after leaving. The awards the company receives are not truly indicative of the work place.

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.
