      Pros

      Work-life balance but depends on your group. Somewhat good culture but again, depends on your group. Nice people. Company cares about customer satisfaction and seems to be a disruptor in the ERP space.

      Cons

      Used to be a darling among startups, now just another company. Was once great, has potential to be great again (haha) in a few years, but avoid right now during this awkward and undesirable time. Workday sells their culture but that is nebulous and depends on your group. Workday uses the culture to cover up issues that would turn people away. Proprietary code only goes so far. Rampant hiring without being purposeful. Immature recent college-grad workforce and inexperienced managers. Deadweight pre-IPO people. Salaries embarrassingly below market. Don't expect to be rewarded for being a good soldier or even promotion. Location is so far away from the Bay Area and no shuttles to help out with this. Parking is actually becoming a real problem. Impossible to find a spot after 9:45am, high rate of break-ins, and a history of cars being stolen.

      Pros

      If anything, Workday is great at three things - having fun, rewarding talent, and creating a great product. The engineering staff is brilliant and great ideas are rewarded and embraced by management. The engineering culture is 'no divas, no cowboys' and this encourages teams to cultivate growth in new members as opposed to isolating them in the shadow of senior team members. Workday engineers are less concerned with job titles and more concerned about collaborating to create a stellar product which we can all truly believe in.

      Cons

      As is the case with cloud computing, there are a lot of moving parts which make up the Workday product, and many of them are Workday proprietary. So, if you do not like to learn new things, this might not be the job for you. But if you love being on the cutting edge of tech and enjoy new challenges, then you will thrive.

      Pros

      I've worked with some great people and for some great employers. Workday stands out among the other organizations in my personal employment history as a place that really cares about treating employees well. Yes, our goal is to deliver software that delights our customers, helping them manage various aspects of their business. My daily reward comes from the terrific group of people that I get to work with on this journey. Through the various recruiting pings that I get regularly, I'm reminded that there are many places I can go and work, probably many of them would even pay me more. I choose to go to Workday everyday, to work hard with smart people I call friends for a company that cares.

      Cons

      No doubt our company is seeing some challenges as we grow. I see some employees having what I think of as the wrong expectations of what the company should do for them. This place was made great by hard working people that help one another. Follow that lead and we'll all be fine.
