Pros

From top to bottom, Workday is a company with a generally positive vibe. My leaders and my co-workers genuinely care about me and my family and my professional growth. People love to collaborate here and you can count on peers to have the best intentions in any situation. At Workday, a great majority of us are optimistic about the direction of the product, about our customers and about each project ahead.

Cons

There is some uncertainty as to how the company will look in 10 years as we continue to grow. But this does not impact our day to day lives and the company has adapted well to change.

Pros

They will not force you to cut off any of your fingers, toes, arms or legs to work here.

Cons

Terrible communication between employees and HR department. Worst on-boarding experience of my life. Received first pay check much, much later than promised. Cannot believe anything told to you by upper management of company.

Pros

Workday is still growing rapidly which creates a lot of opportunity along with management support to create the Workday of the future. This has helped me to pull together all my prior experience to build functions and teams within the organization and learn from others who I work with everyday. Things are constantly changing and that creates a lot of opportunity.

Cons

We are growing and changing rapidly and at times this creates a lot of ambiguity and a reactive environment and this can be frustrating at times as expectations at times are not realistic. It is not for everyone, better for more of a glass full than empty mindset. It is different than years past, which is neither a good or bad thing - just different.
