Pros

Worked at Workday for little over 3 years. Some of the reviews felt too harsh to me. Like every company, Workday has its pros and cons. - Good culture / work life balance - Benefits are still good even after some reduction in recent months. - AI trainings for everyone and they encourage everyone to be AI ready

Cons

- Increments are disappointing. If you aren't promoted, the hike will be extremely low. - RSUs form a big chunk of your compensation and the taxes on it are extremely heavy. - Wellbeing allowance was discontinued recently. I feel they shouldn't have done that. Every company offers it these days. - In some teams, promotion is very difficult and will take time. - A lot of activities have been done lately which clearly shows a heavy inclination towards cost cutting.
