Pros

Great HR product - well known and top notch Good Benefits

Cons

To built a culture is not just having celebration and having team gatherings. Culture is in the people. Everyone needs to embrace it. Great culture I see in US and EMEA but sadly missing in APAC. Leadership too busy with proving themselves rather than emphasize on growth mindset and learning and encouraging everyone to do the same. HR supports management rather than employees.

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.
