Pros

Good work culture, flexible holidays, good snack program

Cons

Due vertical changes and hiring freeze as well some ex Oracle employees are playing politics by not allowing career growth within the organization. Managers are playing politics and individual contributors are troubled. HR and upper management also doesn't pay attention to pains of individual contributors. Lot of favoritism. Have to deal with mental stress.

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.
