      Pros

      - The company is doing well right now - Some engineers seem genuinely interested in learning and improving system architecture

      Cons

      - Based in Pleasanton - Slow pace of development due in part to... - Difficulty in coordinating end to end features - Cliquish culture - Hypersensitivity hinders polite, yet open discourse because fear of offending egos, or appearing to have differing ideas. - A lot of company specific knowledge, which likely won't translate to future positions

      Pros

      - Decent people for the most part - Great place for new grads to make friends and bond with a team

      Cons

      -Our team expanded tremendously lately and the number of engineers I support has doubled as new members came from other parts of the org as well as new managers. Yet despite the expanded responsibility, additional expectations and increased work, there has been zero support offered and no talks of a salary increase despite a conversation about it months ago in which I was told mid year bumps were in strong consideration. - XO has no transferability. YP seems like it's never coming. Definitely keep your actual technical skills sharp if you ever plan on leaving Workday - No room for supported technical growth for application developers outside of XO

      NYC is run by an incompetent man that lies rather than admits his lack of experience and confidence

      Pros

      There are a few good, experienced people but they are over ruled by an inexperienced, shallow guy put into a job he is not qualified to occupy. He bends to people that are self serving, bad for corporate culture and demeaning to others.

      Cons

      The entire corporate culture had suffered and it's showing. Leadership is lacking right up to the CEO. Leadership is demeaning to the team. Customers have noticed the arrogance. Inexperienced "leadership" in NYC states use my tithe as if that means something to customers. Lack of loyalty and support for teams is rampant. Mandatory team meetings waste time and money. Managing up is commonplace and those managers that support their teams are discouraged. Horrible culture.
