Pros

People are nice to you. It is called "Workday Nice" There is a strong culture that identifies with the mission.

Cons

You can be "nice" (including the ever popular 'to your face' and 'passive aggressive' types) and get far here even if you don't do much from a productivity standpoint. Look busy and make people like you and you will be fine. If you want to work in Data Science, stay away. They are for the most part not a tech savvy company and are ok with that. Come here and learn nothing. Or only things that will not help you in your field. Diversity and inclusion is really kind of a joke here (though they wouldn't admit it). They mark a few boxes, for sure, but it is more superficial. Enough not to get a lawsuit etc.

Pros

Great people, great product, great benefits, great culture... I mean enough can't be said about how great the company is, especially as it relates to it's people

Cons

I've noticed this as of late, that a lot of the original folks that help make this company great, are now leaving. While interacting with these individuals, it relates to a similar experience I had. Now, the company would rather hire externally than provide individuals who have been at the company with an opportunity to take on a new role. Years ago, people didn't look at your years of experience but rather what you were doing at the moment and whether you can deliver value in an area we needed to focus on. That has changed... It seems like to grow, you have to be coming from the outside. Folks that have been here for a while don't seem to receive the same type of respect they used to give or take the same amount of risk or believing in someone. I really hope this can be fixed because Workday is a great place to work but the people who helped get it there should not be forgotten.
