Pros

Everyone starts at the same place. No one has prior knowledge that can put them ahead of another workmate (what we call coworkers). And all the other workmates are friendly and eager to help because they remember when they were new and how they got help from everyone. At Workday its all about paying it forward and keeping that friendly and collaborative environment alive. One thing I love about Workday is how approachable everyone is. Even the CEOs are approachable! They usually hang amongst the employees at big events like the pool tournament. You can skype or slack someone and ask them for help and next thing you know you guys are hanging out at the next company cantina. Which brings me to my next pro: Cantinas. These are end-of-week parties where free food and booze are provided for the sole purpose of socializing with coworkers. Workday really cares for employees and they want you to be comfortable with who you work with so they encourage any and all socialization. There's so many other pros like company meetings and bonuses and clubs and affinity groups and benefits and RSUs and working from Ireland etc., etc.

Cons

Parking. 😓 but we are growing to accomidate our growth in the market 🙌 soon parking spaces for all. Also its still a young company and they haven't turned a profit so you get the RSU (restricted stock unit) as compensation a lot..

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.
