Pros

Workday is a great place to work, you can express yourself, get the tools you need to do your job and get training to chase your career goals. Fun parties, events and culture. Definitely solid. My manager and my sr. manager are not only my bosses, they're also my personal friends and I love them dearly.

Cons

Upper management does nothing but ignore the subject experts. Whether it's pushing for a project and insisting on unrealistic time frames or just downright ignoring the project engineer because the vendor is a potential customer. Pulling in "friends" who are ill-equiped or downright awful to manage at high levels. Nothing but butt kissing and ignoring their subordinates. The overall impression of the SMT in my org, is they don't give a damn about anyone who isn't a director or above. All we are are tools in their scheme to get that next raise. It's sickening. That and they declare organizational goals and then RADICALLY change them a month later. Nobody takes them seriously because they make it impossible to do so.

Pros

None. I guess the reputation of the company name is attractive but the culture is nothing like they lead you to believe in their propaganda about employees coming first

Cons

Horrible organization skills. Say they care about employees but only care about themselves and are dishonest about the real position during the interview process
