Pros

Flexible RTO and Cloud Care

Cons

Many of us are grieving the Workday that we joined. It’s unrecognizable now. I’m sad that we are now focused on acquisitions and revenue targets - it’s exhausting and difficult to get excited about putting money in someone else’s pocket. Instead of focusing on Company Values, we focus on what our new leadership wants - documentation and updates. We spend a majority of our time prepping for updates instead of innovating. Moving quickly and breaking things is outdated and doesn’t work for enterprise business suites. We do not ask customers what problems they need us to solve, we focus on escalations and applying AI where we can deliver quickly.

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.
