Pros

I have been at Workday almost 15 years and watched our products grow into a robust solution

Cons

Unfortunately, I have also watched our culture turn incredibly toxic, and it's coming from HR. No longer do you get recognized or promoted for good work. And if you speak up, you are blacklisted and managed out. I have watched the company I love be destroyed.

Pros

It's a really easy job. Decent pay. Pretty good benefits. There are interesting problems to solve if you search hard enough. You can rest and vest if that's your thing.

Cons

Lack of leadership. Most people on the team seem unmotivated to actually work. I'm not even sure what my manager does all day. Very politically biased, some would say way too woke. The old guard of engineering are pretty dismissive to new people/ideas. There's a culture of non-collaboration, made especially bad by the rona. Constantly being told "things will get better". Wayyyy too much red tape when it comes to merging code. More senior engineers are more interested in pet projects and are never kept in check by management.

Pros

Work life balance similar to gov job

Cons

Filed with B and C players who rest and vest. Not a performance culture. Management doesn’t base rewards and promotion on delivering good tech and products to customers. Leadership of ML team is good at managing up but don’t actually fix issues. They burry problems and keep low performers so they don’t have to deal with red tape of HR. Maybe management could do useful things like get us data? ML team has no product vision or strategy. Just order takers.
