Pros

Great culture to work within. Heavy investment in product. Great benefits.

Cons

In a time where most solutions look the same, Workday continues to invest heavily in product knowledge and has a lesser focus on the selling side of customer engagement. If you are coming to Workday and have excellent selling skills, you must know that those skills are less valued than your expertise on the product. It's expected that you are on slack pretty much during all working hours. . . the unwritten rule. While most people are open to new ideas, be careful who you share them with as they may not be as receptive. There are some "leaders" manager that are new and inexperienced and are "yes" people. These people can become a problem for those that have a tendency to want to improve things and make things better. There is also a lack of leadership development in people leaders and it shows very much.

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.
