      Great place to work

      Pros

      Company lives its core values better than any previous employer, which is very much appreciated. The culture focuses on being a best place to work for its employees and being excellent at truly partnering with customers. Life long learners fit in best at Workday. Employees need to enjoy learning and teaching because the product continues to change and evolve. Ramp up period to contribute is longer than most other companies, so potential employees need to be ok with being uncomfortable for 6-9 months.

      Cons

      I have been trying to find the cons for over a year, but have yet to find anything substantive. Not perfection, but Workday strives to create a great culture.

      Pros

      Friendly, cooperative work environment. Managers actually care about your career path, and encourage movement and progress. The products are above Oracle and SAP, so selling Workday comes easily. Awesome CEO and Founder.

      Cons

      I don't really have cons about the business itself, but unless you're interested in Human Capital Management or Financial software systems, it's hard to find passion in the work. Luckily, Workday takes care of that with being an awesome company, which adds passion for just being there.

      Pros

      There are lots of opportunities to grow your career at Workday. It is a very friendly and family-like environment. There is an excellent balance of work and personal life. My experience with the management team, directors etc., has been one of honest and open conversation. The Workday system is definitely not something you can grasp overnight and then put a feather in your cap. And my experience has been that this was never the expectation. As Workday's products have grown, evolved, matured; so have opportunities for employees to get involved in the "next new thing", and to be part of an ever changing for the better product. Workday is constantly innovating and that makes for some very interesting opportunities to work on fantastic projects with outstanding and brilliant people.

      Cons

      If I had to think of 1 con it might be the salary. Some have stated that Workday is under market on compensation, but considering they are an Easy Bay company, the alternatives would be to travel to the Silicon Valley where you can expect to spend 3 hours of your day commuting and quite a bit on fuel and other expenses.
