Pros

Culture is very good. People that I have met seem to be genuinely happy, it is not just corporate propaganda.

Cons

Workday does not care about you during probation. If your manager wanted to fail your probation simply because they did not like you, they can. HR will do a fake investigation and then inform you that you are no longer needed. I left the company after only 3 weeks of probation. Simply because I interviewed with an amazing manager but then I got re-assigned to another manager before I started and after I had already accepted the offer. That new manager was a horrible person and simply did not like me so she claimed to HR that she did not feel safe in the work environment with me being in the team. HR did absolutely no investigation and just invited me to a formality meeting that asked some questions about the work itself. Of course almost all of my answers had the phrase "I don't know, I have just joined since 3 weeks". Two days later, HR set a meeting with me and my manager to let my manager tell me that I did not pass probation. I don't know if this was racism or what the real reason is behind that manager's behavior. But if this is relevant to anybody, she is Irish, and I am from North Africa. I believe this is very likely a very rare experience, I don't know someone else who had a similar experience at the company. On another note, base pay is bad! I was receiving more base pay as a junior in another big tech company before Workday (76k as junior at that company vs 73k as mid level at Workday). This is because Workday has two levels P2 and P3 that map to mid-level. P2 gets payed just like juniors in other big tech companies. P3 could match mid-level in other companies.
