Pros

Management team cares about their employees Allowed to work on stuff you have a passion for (outside of your regular job) Great horizontal growth opportunities Pleasanton has a great campus that's only getting better

Cons

Coming from a place that I would never go back too, I can't think of anything that would be considered a con.

Pros

Outstanding products, high integrity, people centred, family friendly, employer awards are justified, massive investment in product development, founders set strong cultural example which filters down through the organisation, great focus on user experience, employee experience and quality

Cons

Sometimes overly consensus driven, like any fast growing company some things can seem chaotic or under resourced, culture can be risk averse

Still a Great Place to Work

Pros

- 401k Matching - Snack Program - Gym Reimbursement - Great Leadership - Teams Passionate about Workday and our Products - Game Rooms - Various Onsite Vendors and Services - On campus Showers Workday has proven time and time again it's committed to both it's employees and it's customers. The second is a product of the former and Senior Leadership knows it. I have never seen any company invest as much time and effort in making sure it's culture remains in tact as it continues to grow. The technology to some may be a stumbling block but that's only because they allow it to be. For those who see it's value it molds them into better engineers who take the skills they learn in this technology and apply it elsewhere. Overall, I enjoy getting up and going to work. Partly it's because of what I do, mostly it's because of where I do it.

Cons

Too many smart people! It's hard to stand out in a group of engineers who are so talented and passionate. It's not a very good "con" but it's the hardest part about working at Workday but also one of the parts that helps me grow as a professional. Since getting bigger there's the natural growing pains of communication and bureaucracy. Getting other teams to cooperate sometimes is frustrating but manageable.
