Pros

Great program for interns and fresh graduates. Diversity programs. Free snacks.

Cons

First couple years looked like a dream. We are a great company and we are all nice people ... But then ... There is a dark side behind that picture perfect image. When I tried to propose something different, my manager told me plain and simple that I should not be going against that other team. We are nice people, we don't argue in public. The company is full of politics. Your performance mostly doesn't matter (and nobody is really trying to measure it!), it's all about who you know. And since Workday keeps hiring people faster than business grows, it becomes really tense now.

Pros

Groups that focus on wellness, sustainability, and charitable causes. Well-maintained office spaces. Benefits and pay are competitive.

Cons

Everyone is overworked. The bureaucracy is a soul suck.
