Pros

Same collegial atmosphere as most of the mid/large tech companies in the Value. Free snacks in break rooms

Cons

Flexibility means non-existent process except when consultants come in to run a program

Pros

Workday's culture is worthy of all the positive word-of-mouth it has received. The company is aggressively improving professional development and benefits. Examples include an all-managers retreat and internal product management conference, as well as opening an on-site gym and cafe in the past year. The business is doing very well in acquiring huge customers (Amazon, Wal-mart, Citigroup), and the stock price has gained 40% in the past year. Our product will be transformed with Prism Analytics and Cloud Platform.

Cons

The almost leisurely work-life balance can lead to inertia from those who take advantage of the situation. This affects our release velocity of features and products. Career progression is often determined not by your accomplishments, but by who you know and who recognizes you. Application developers face a career-limiter in our proprietary coding language. Compensation is below industry-standards, even when compared to other large B2B such as Salesforce and Microsoft.
