Pros

The company values 'fun' and still invests in fun activities and clubs. The pay , benefits, bonus and RSUs are generous especially for working in Utah

Cons

High performers are rewarded with more RSUs to try and get you to stay longer, but other than that it feels like recognition is more how you show versus how you do. It is not encouraged to take risks and every change needs so much approval.. the opposite of agile.

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.
