      Company going through an identity crisis - Anonymous employee Workday Employee Review

      Pros

      - Good work life balance as pointed by everyone - No vicious / back stabbing politics (yet) - Great technology foundation and decent product

      Cons

      - The company has a consistent knack of hiring average or below average performers, especially on Sales and Marketing side - If you are not in the PSFT clique, you have little chance of breaking into the executive ranks or just progressing to the next level - The last 2-3 months has seen a lot of attrition, and it's understandable why - The Performance Evaluation has little meaning and career planning is non existent (it's a combination of HR not being interested and Manager being below par)

      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.
