      Pros

      Culture is fairly good and diverse workforce

      Cons

      Inexperienced management team has a negative effect on individual contributors - Raising issues is met with harsh criticism and risk of discontinued employment. Lots of attrition and lateral movement across teams due to dis-satisfaction with management, causing teams to have to "start over" frequently ... this reduces the quality of the product and slows innovation. New employees often receive little to no on-boarding.

      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.
