      Pros

      Excellent people to work with. Workday treats everyone fairly and with respect. Pretty nice benefits package also.

      Cons

      Pay is only fair. They try to get you with the culture...which is very nice but you can't pay the mortgage with that. They try to attract top talent but don't want to pay top dollar for them.

      Solid Work Environment; Lackluster Benefits

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Your personal health is of huge importance to leadership. - If you are feeling stagnant in your position, there are other opportunities within the company for you, even if it means only a temporary change. - The best Onboarding experience you will have in terms of getting to know what the company is about. - The company, as a whole, has an extremely positive work environment and are very optimistic about the product moving forward. - Aneel is a very smart individual and he has almost every employee's backing

      Cons

      - The benefits and pay aren't even close to the rest of the Bay Area. It is very hard to negotiate a raise. - It is very hard to get noticed at Workday for your contributions. In a company full of rockstars that are handpicked by managers as their favorites, this is very troublesome if you don't have a very outgoing personality and don't often stand out in a crowd. - There is not much work to be had here. I wasn't learning at as fast pace as some of my peers outside of the company were. There were many days I spent surfing the internet waiting for more work/responsibility to be dumped on my plate.

      great except for the chairs

      Pros

      This company works hard to make sure employees feel cared for and happy. They make a great product, and have happy customers. There is a very active pipeline, and best of all the founders have made it abundantly clear they have no interest in being bought by an investment company (which IMO is the death of all that is good in a company) and they have taken steps to ensure a hostile takeover cannot happen as well.

      Cons

      my biggest beef is that the office chairs are horrible. even with a doctors note you may be told that you are welcome to bring in any chair you wish. really seems to be in conflict with the companies ideals in every other area.
