Pros

Unlimited Leave & Leave of Absence Policy: Workday offers unlimited PTO and leave of absence options, which can be beneficial for work-life balance—if you actually feel safe using them.

Cons

Leave at Your Own Risk: While unlimited PTO and leave of absence policies sound great on paper, taking extended time off can put you on the radar for the next round of layoffs. It creates an unspoken culture where employees hesitate to fully utilize these benefits.

Pros

We have coffee shop available in the building, and our snack collection is fantastic. Plus, there are some friendly coworkers here.

Cons

This company doesn't prioritize its employees' well-being. Many of us are required to work weekends and nights under constant pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines.

Pros

Excellent coworkers, nice environment and work life balance is manageable.

Cons

Micromanagement leads to nothing getting done. Can you put that in a google slide deck and now a word document that no one will read? Lots of cross team meetings make updates slow. Corporate life and kind of boring now that most of the perks have gone.
