Pros

Still chill in some orgs that are not XO.

Cons

Unfortunately the engineering is undervalued in this company, you could tell it’s just a cost. No events, no meetups organized. No travel to meet your team if you’re remote. There’s stagnation in salaries and focus is on sales and marketing. Stock is not growing at all for past 4 years

Pros

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Cons

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
