Pros

- free snacks at corporate offices - unlimited time off - office dogs - women are treated as equals at all levels of the org

Cons

- if you land on the wrong team, life can be miserable - since they sell HR software there is a notion that no one needs to follow the rules - black mailing has happened on numerous occasions - team members and management are all for themselves and offer no support - the image they put on is a complete fasade - my manager is completely offensive. He has said ' I don't understand the Black Lives Matter movement, why isn't there a White Lives Matter movement?' - he has also said that ' no straight man would ever want to be alone with a gay man, it's just uncomforatable.' - in reaction to the Charlottesville protest, and the woman who got run over by a car ' she deserved to die because she wasn't invited there... she was a counter protester.' - additionally, he has said ' I don't understand why there are gay flags everywhere, I don't waive around straight white male flags and our life is equally as difficult as theirs.' - additionally, things have been said along the lines of pushing out equal marriage protestors at city Hall in red states, he said ' they should just stay where they are welcome, no one wants them here.' - when talking about gender equality in the workplace, he said he ' doesn't understand the big deal with Women in the workplace, life is way harder for men in the workplace because women get promoted for being women vs. being qualified.' - he has also talked about gun ownership, building a wall between the US and Mexico, and the me too movement.

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.
