Pros

Workday is that company you join and ask yourself, where has this team been all my working life? Very smart, driven and nice people abound here. Free snacks, and breakfast. We have a leadership team who genuinely care about diversity- it's not just a talking point for them. They actually support and cheer on their workmates. The company has family events like summer picnic and Halloween party, and has recently upgraded the parental leave policy and retirement benefits. I can't state enough how low drama this place is, it's amazing considering the size of it. if you are smart, driven and want to succeed this is the place to be. If you want to work with a diverse workforce, where every background is accepted, and no one is made to feel like they don't belong, this is the place to be.

Cons

It would be nice if they had a subsidized cafeteria for workmates.

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.
