      Pros

      Nice people, good snacks, market leader

      Cons

      Unfortunately this is the only place to share feedback without being a target for retaliation. The reason for the 1 star is because I don't appreciate being told by my employer to "like" and "share" postings on social media about controversial issues at the national level. Today all employees were told to show support against the U.S. Executive Order on immigration. It's seems Workday should not be telling its employees what it should and shouldn't support in the US federal government. They are making false assumptions that all employees agree with their view point. It's very narrow minded of them to think this way as that is not the case with how all of their employees feel on this subject.

      At Workday, we are proud of our values, which promote inclusion and belonging. We stand behind our belief that the executive order on immigration may be harmful to our employees and our business, but we also believe in the rights of each of our employees to hold their own beliefs. We would not ask someone to support or promote a position with which they do not agree. If our communication about Workday’s statement on the executive order led you to believe we want you to express the same views, we apologize. That was not our intent. Our values encourage all forms of diversity—including political beliefs—and we will continue doing our best to demonstrate that in our words and actions.

      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.
