Pros

Recognized industry brand name has a positive image (for now).

Cons

Does not live up to it's reputation as a top employer. Worst experience of my career. Recruiter sold me on a top employer and the organization did not live up to it's reputation. Training boot camp is the worst, they work you to the point of exhaustion and then test you. Either you pass their exam or you're out. On-boarding experience was horrible.

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.
