Pros

-Carl has finally left the building -4 employee holidays on top of FTO (which isn’t really FTO bc they tell you not to take too many days off so you end up never taking time off) -Free snacks (if the vultures haven’t gotten to them before 9) -on site chiropractor, physical therapist, masseuse

Cons

Had to put up with all the BS with Carl in charge.

6 years at Workday, love my team work with smart and caring people.
