      Pros

      - Great work atmosphere, everybody is friendly - Working on some cool technology - Good work life balance These qualities are honestly very rare in SV, but then there are drawbacks to having such balance..

      Cons

      - Typical problems of scaling a company - Lack of open-source projects (which I feel is very important to staying integrated with the tech community) - Pays under the market, which limits the amt of talent

      Pros

      It was a very cool company a few years ago, then it sorta lost its way. Now the management seems to be getting the message and they are trying to fix things up. I don't know how much they can fix, but they are surely trying.

      Cons

      Workday product used to be like an organic salad - very few ingredients, very straightforward recipe, nothing to hide, but it was all healthy and good for you. Now it's more like a sausage. It looks good and tastes ok but you better not ask what is it made of. Workdays seems to be trying to chase too many technologies and bundle them up together. It doesn't work very well and makes a lot of people frustrated. There are a lot of things I can't say publicly but it's definitely getting messy.

      Pros

      Awesome organization with great benefits and product. Customers are world class and we are changing the landscape of software. The opportunities are endless with such a fast growing organization.

      Cons

      Becoming a large organization has lost some of the entrepreneurial feel. Lots of opportunity for those in the corporate hq.
