A steady decline in culture

Pros

- Above average salary + benefits - Work life balance

Cons

The company used to have one of the best cultures in the industry. In its core values, Workday mentions, among others: Employees and Integrity. Well, recently the company performed mass layoffs, justified by a pivot in strategy (focusing more on AI). Shortly after opened positions for the same roles that were cut, but in India. This is just the most visible example of a general decline in integrity. Made of heartless decisions, brutal office politics and borderline illegal actions from management.
