Pros

Early on the this company was exciting to work for, smart people working together. The ethic was more about exacting revenge on Oracle, they were the enemy. People did 'whatever it takes' to make Workday successful.

Cons

The last couple of years has seen a massive influx of mediocre talent, with a very bad dose of company politics. One of DAD's ethos is to never be afraid to speak up and question something that doesn't seem right. Sadly, doing so in today's Workday is career ending. Nepotism runs rampant, age discrimination and did I say mediocre talent are much the norm.

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.
