      Pros

      There used to be a lot, but management seems to be trying very hard to take it all away.

      Cons

      Absolute chaos. We used to follow a clear model in which DEVs know what we're doing, QA know what they're doing, and PMs know what they're doing. Now they cut half of QA, appear set to do the same for PMs, leaving DEVs to be doing QA and PM work in addition to our own DEV work. It's overwhelming not to mention stressful having to do things that we don't feel comfortable doing.

      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.
