Pros

My direct leadership team is supportive and encouraging. The health benefits pay are good.

Cons

If you can only work from home because of your family dynamic, Workday is not the place for you. There is no understanding or accommodations for working parents who have responsibilities for their children that makes going into the office very challenging from a work life balance and the ability to do you job during working hours. Expect to put in many hours in night making up for work that couldn’t get done because of your family schedule. Workday is making its employees pick their family obligations or a successful career at Workday. Both are not possible here.

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.
