Pros

Workday is that company you join and ask yourself, where has this team been all my working life? Very smart, driven and nice people abound here. Free snacks, and breakfast. We have a leadership team who genuinely care about diversity- it's not just a talking point for them. They actually support and cheer on their workmates. The company has family events like summer picnic and Halloween party, and has recently upgraded the parental leave policy and retirement benefits. I can't state enough how low drama this place is, it's amazing considering the size of it. if you are smart, driven and want to succeed this is the place to be. If you want to work with a diverse workforce, where every background is accepted, and no one is made to feel like they don't belong, this is the place to be.

Cons

It would be nice if they had a subsidized cafeteria for workmates.

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.
