Pros

Excellent Benefits Package Competitive Compensation Good base salary with equity grants and annual bonuses. Brand Recognition is good

Cons

Culture Is Shifting, Original “employee-first” and "fun" culture feels diluted Collaboration across functions can be difficult; "one Workday" doesn’t always feel true in practice. Partner ecosystem and field alignment are inconsistent depending on the region. Less Flexibility in Career Growth

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.
