      Pros

      Reasonably good salary and benefits and sometimes interesting work.

      Cons

      Workload can be overwhelming because there aren't enough writing staff and the job cuts have been savage. The company doesn't seem to realise the importance to their customers of quality documentation and demonstrates little respect for individuals in writing roles. There seems to be an underlying assumption that AI can do most of this work, which is laughable. Workday claims to be all about the employee, which is true up to a point. When you're actually struggling, the company largely takes a box-ticking approach and doesn't actually demonstrate respect or care. For example, they would rather spend huge sums on flashy advertising campaigns than invest in their employees. In addition, recent layoffs have been savage. The best and brightest (and presumably the most expensive) employees have been made redundant, so zero recognition for good work.

      We know the recent restructuring has been difficult. These were hard decisions and we’re committed to supporting those impacted during this transition.

      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.
