Pros

I have found that people are dedicated to getting things done, but cooperatively. What competition there generatlly tends to be friendly.

Cons

I joined via a buyout of a smaller company. I've found it a little disconcerting as we move away from the technologies we were based on, the processes we used to have and the options a smaller place has to work in a variety of areas.

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.
