Pros

My direct chain of leadership allows me to do my job without micromanagement, which gives me ownership in how I do my job and how I help my customers. When I look around at my company, I see high performing individuals everywhere and colleagues I can count on to deliver. No company is perfect, but I simply don't every hear the phrase "thats not my job" when ambiguous tasks need to be done. The compensation is very fair for my role and the benefits package is good bordering on "great." This company is a meriticracy and if you are great at your job, you have the opportunity to pivot around. Awesome R&D investment (30% of revenues reinvested) provides for great products.

Cons

The parental leave at 3 months is just okay. There are other tech companies tend to offer longer leave to bond with a new child. If you are someone who needs a purely remote job, Workday is beginning to promote a more "in office" approach a few days per week if that matters to you.

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.
