Pros

Flexible RTO and Cloud Care

Cons

Many of us are grieving the Workday that we joined. It’s unrecognizable now. I’m sad that we are now focused on acquisitions and revenue targets - it’s exhausting and difficult to get excited about putting money in someone else’s pocket. Instead of focusing on Company Values, we focus on what our new leadership wants - documentation and updates. We spend a majority of our time prepping for updates instead of innovating. Moving quickly and breaking things is outdated and doesn’t work for enterprise business suites. We do not ask customers what problems they need us to solve, we focus on escalations and applying AI where we can deliver quickly.

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.
