      Great Opportunities But Getting to Be a Big Company - Director Workday Employee Review

      Pros

      Generally great smart people with high integrity. Huge growth = opportunities for effective people.

      Cons

      Getting big and harder to get things done. By now it takes more time to communicate and agree on change than to code it. Some of the newer hires don't get how to collaborate and work with others or how to DO vs. direct. Group think causes a lot missteps - though people are smart enough and work hard enough to adjust and fix. Of course this is better than analysis paralysis.

      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.
