Pros

I went through a recruitment process with workday recently. - All the recruiters were nice people to talk to. The technical guys were also quite good, we engaged in deep conversation about the technology stack and the architecture of some particular systems. - We were able to delay the Commence Date of the contract, which was excellent news for me. - The team-lead walked me through the module they are developing and told me where will my place in the team be and what responsibilities will I have.

Cons

- Relocation's a b*tch. Although they provided a Relocation Asistance Company. Which actually comes to a plsu, at the end of the day..

Pros

Everyone starts at the same place. No one has prior knowledge that can put them ahead of another workmate (what we call coworkers). And all the other workmates are friendly and eager to help because they remember when they were new and how they got help from everyone. At Workday its all about paying it forward and keeping that friendly and collaborative environment alive. One thing I love about Workday is how approachable everyone is. Even the CEOs are approachable! They usually hang amongst the employees at big events like the pool tournament. You can skype or slack someone and ask them for help and next thing you know you guys are hanging out at the next company cantina. Which brings me to my next pro: Cantinas. These are end-of-week parties where free food and booze are provided for the sole purpose of socializing with coworkers. Workday really cares for employees and they want you to be comfortable with who you work with so they encourage any and all socialization. There's so many other pros like company meetings and bonuses and clubs and affinity groups and benefits and RSUs and working from Ireland etc., etc.

Cons

Parking. 😓 but we are growing to accomidate our growth in the market 🙌 soon parking spaces for all. Also its still a young company and they haven't turned a profit so you get the RSU (restricted stock unit) as compensation a lot..
