      An awesome company to work for to horrible company to work for

      Pros

      Once a great place—now lost to politics and poor leadership. Workday used to offer an excellent work-life balance, a genuine employee-first culture, and solid compensation (base + RSUs + bonus). Unfortunately, much of that has eroded. Internal politics now run unchecked, with toxic dev team leaders protected instead of held accountable. Senior management often avoids conflict resolution, acting more like messengers than leaders. The company feels increasingly misaligned—favoring dysfunction over collaboration. It’s disheartening to see such a promising workplace lose its core values. I'm out due to politics, will never return to this org.

      Cons

      A culture of politics over performance. My experience at Workday was marked by poor leadership accountability and a lack of effective conflict resolution. Toxic behavior among certain dev team leads was tolerated, if not rewarded, while management failed to intervene or foster a collaborative culture. Senior leaders often took a passive stance—acting more as messengers than problem-solvers—leaving high-performing teams vulnerable to internal sabotage. If you're someone who values transparency, fairness, and leadership that actually leads, tread carefully.

      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.
