Pros

Flexible hours, and ample opportunities for advancement for those willing to pursue them. Workday is a company that wants to develop and retain their talent by investing directly in them. Lots of work to do that keeps me busy all day. No down time - which is good for me, the day goes by quickly. Manager is great; very willing to teach new skills, making me more valuable to the entire team.

Cons

Proprietary programming languages ( domain specific languages or internal scripting languages), slowly takes you away from rest of industry Company has grown to a size that growth is slow Emphasis on collaboration is to an extreme that it slows down and takes innovation off the table

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
