Pros

Excellent culture. People care about success, not for individuals, but for the company. I'm in product development and everyone cares about the quality of the product. Do we have to make shortcuts to meet customer deadlines? Of course. But that's a conscious choice. The company is filled with learning opportunities and extremely intelligent and experienced people. As a young college graduate, this has been a great community of mentors and colleagues to work with.

Cons

As Workday grows, it's feeling growing pains in its processes and communication channels. How do we ensure speed to market with growing number of dependencies for each product? How do we allow everyone's opinions to be heard without endlessly delaying actual development? These are problems every decently sized company struggle with, and Workday is no exception to them. But everyone is conscious of them and are making an effort to solve these problems. That's all anyone can ask for.

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
