Pros

The company is very stable and progressing as such. great mission and values employee (maybe depending the team). great and inclusive culture.

Cons

- Frequent change in directory level personal ( those who had been with company since startup). don't know if this is good or bad. - Principle engineers are leaving as well. definitely not good. - Compensation is lower compared to bay area standard. - Some team at least one of the team I work with promotions are given based on seniority regardless of how you work. not a good incentive for achievers and becomes like a tribe where you go along with the tide, for some this may be advantage as they just ride along and work a cushy job.

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.
