Pros

Company has leading a edge product and is rapidly expanding. The business has solid funding and is firmly established in the market.

Cons

Almost too many to mention - Lots of bad middle managers - Corporate culture outside of Head office completely different.- - Sales culture is same old " old school SAP/ORACLE" old boys beef up your chest, kill at all costs approach. - Management very disconnected from corporate "values" - Supremely arrogant company; we are better than everyone else; we have no issues, if you don't like anything we do we can find people lined up to take your job. - Management very hypocritical; " encourages staff to manage expenses " like its your own money" staff does and then management does the exact opposite.

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.
