Pros

Some people we work with takes their jobs seriously and will help each other whenever possible

Cons

New hires don’t fit in the culture, because of that the new leadership is lacking some serious people skills. Employees used to be top on priority but right now with some changes, employees don’t seem to matter anymore.

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.
