Pros

Great benefits Great colleagues Pay good enough for a comfortable life

Cons

Slow moving. Complicated politics. You can work at the best company in the world, but if your boss sucks, your job sucks. There are some bad bosses at Workday.

Pros

Great work life balance, compensation and culture The cons are recognised and the company is taking steps. I've noticed them already. Everyone is very open and friendly and everyone is listened to.

Cons

The XO language can throw people off and is different from other languages so that anyone will take a little while to get used to it.

Pros

Work life balance is above average. There are talented engineers to work with. Workday clubs are great. Snack program. Great for your resume.

Cons

Xpresso can be a career limiting technology (though in my opinion it's a powerful technology). Your quality of life is VERY team dependant. Some teams are great, others have highly toxic politics. Pay is above average for smaller less established companies but far behind the more established ones. Promotions aren't common. It kinda feels like there is an "in crowd" and then there is everyone else. Flexible work from home policy isn't. You get Fridays to work from home and anything more that that and your manager will be speaking with you. Unlimited PTO isn't. It's 4 weeks per year that don't accrue and doesn't pay out when you leave.
