Pros

(At the time) Cutting edge Technology, One of the first main stream SaaS Companies, Able to bring Dogs to work

Cons

Simply put, Workday is a cement company. Once you are in, you are stuck. Unless you are over 40 and worked at PeopleSoft in the 90's don't plan on going anywhere. For years, I worked below my paygrade and title, hoping for a large payouout with the IPO and an eventual promotion. Needless to say, that gamble did not pay off...and to current employees of Workday, I hate to break it to you, but employers could care less what you did there. Be ready to explain why you stayed in your position at lowly title.

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.
