Pros

Some teams still maintain a strong internal culture and collaborative spirit. Compensation is average for the industry, but additional benefits—like flexible working or wellness programs—are above average and appreciated.

Cons

Workday increasingly feels like any other large corporation. Despite frequent restructures, the same senior leaders remain in place, limiting meaningful change. The decision to outsource roles like office and workplace management has diluted the company culture, which once felt more distinct and people-focused.

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.
