Pros

I've worked for several employers and Workday is an AMAZING place to work. The company's leadership is top notch and they live/breath their company values: employees, customer service, integrity, innovation, fun, and profitability. I can't speak highly enough about working here!

Cons

The company is experiencing rapid growth so there have been some roadbumps along the way - this is to be expected with ANY rapidly growing business. However, there are lots of employee surveys and management has a genuine interest in smoothing over those roadbumps.
