Pros

High salary - which is often why people stay

Cons

Workday Australia is in denial about so many considerations. There are a vast number of customers who despise the product and this isn’t recognised by leadership as many people at workday in Australia lack experience at other companies over the last decade and consider workday to be better than sliced bread when it’s not even a half eaten slice of whole meal. The actual tech is outdated and workdays approach is to buy upcoming niche vendors to solve their tech problems instead of addressing the negative market feedback, listening to customers and dropping the ego. Many of workdays large customers are staying around because workday provides huge discounts just to keep the brand name. The customers do not respect workday and use them as a way to reduce annual tech spend which looks great to any board. The advanced workday customers have little faith in the product and often make their own technology - especially AI recruitment tools because they don’t trust workday’s tech stack. It’s only a matter of time before workday continues to lose more market share and fails to transparently acknowledge why they are losing so many deals over the last 5 years.

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.
