Pros

I love my team. Compared to my previous job at a mid-sized technology company in the Bay Area, Workday employees in general make you feel totally welcome. The culture is more family oriented, rather than obnoxious tech-bro culture, which gives way for a ton of work-life flexibility and balance. Pay is great too, I am making in an entry level position the same amount as my peers in big 4 companies. Stock is also on the rise too, which adds even more to the pay. I have flexibility in the projects that I can work on, and my manager always makes sure to meet all of my needs.

Cons

Could use a higher 401k match, but other than that, nothing to complain about.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
