Pros

- bagels every morning, telecommute, pet-friendly - store and restaurant discounts - near BART and mall

Cons

- Come here if you want to sink your engineering career. This place is filled with tech garbage no one really cares for like gerrit, openstack, and nagios. Their platform is built on proprietary language, xpresso, that is useless outside the company. - Many people come here from companies like SAP, DELL, and EMC to seek shelter and safe heaven under the illusion the Workday HR promotes as the company's "core values". - Most groups are filled with garbage tech workers - Workday tries to recycle them by placing them into roles they are unfit for. - Many managers are unsuited for their role. Promotion is run if you have influence in the Peoplesoft's boys club - former Oracle employees. - The salary is very low, low 401K matching, and subpar benefits. There is no free meals aside of bagels. You will have to spend money around to eat and it is not cheap! - This place feels like an unionized train station - no one says a negative word about the company, everyone goes "yes, sir" or "yes, ma'am" to their unqualified supervisors. - Reviews are completely biased. If you are good friends with your manager or someone above him/her, you will get good reviews. - HR is useless and a complete waste of company resources. Many don't show up to the office for days, only if there is a team meeting or company event. Many are spending time writing fake great reviews on public sites about Workday's culture. - The company is stuck in old school management and tech - there is no push for good tech like microservices and containers. - If you have an offer from Workday, please do yourself a big favor and go for a company that will help you grow.

Pros

If you are looking for amazing work culture, nice and smart co-workers, great pay, and work-life balance, look no further! In my one year with the company, I have been able to get into a better role, do really engaging and impactful work, eat incredible free snacks and have fun!! I wake up and look forward to going to the office (whaaaat?) well on most days....(we all feel sick and tired sometimes).

Cons

Rapid growth brings new challenges such as keeping culture the same, expedite decision-making and reorganize according to the new needs. All that and i would still be with a healthy, growing company any day, rather than big stale corporation.
