Pros

Were a lot of great employees at the start and a definite sense of teamwork and everyone working towards a larger vision to help grow the company.

Cons

Sadly most have the good people have already left. The company has decided to backfill with a lot of mediocre players from Oracle and SAP which totally kills the culture. Management in certain departments is a bit of a mess.

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.
