Pros

If you're related to someone there, or best friends with your manager, you will have a job for life and be promoted to your greatest level of uselessness.

Cons

Difficult place to work, expectations are beyond ridiculous at times. Unrealistic goals expectations. If you're not part of the inner clique, they will band together to make sure you will not survive. I've seen this behavior on numerous occasions.

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.
