Pros

Best products - ONLY true cloud HCM and Financials solution (there are no others) - one code line for all customers - always looking forward - no upgrades with 2 major feature releases a year with little to no effort for customers to validate (features delivered turned off - how cool is that)? Best People - executives and upper management VERY employee focused Best Culture - Core Values (Employees, Customer Satisfaction, Innovation, Integrity, FUN, Profitability) - We live these core values

Cons

Crushing competition - makes people in Oracle and SAP hate us and put in false statements trying to slow down our momentum. Like the other rating i read 8+years WD i doubt it, there are only a few of us.

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.
