      Pros

      - Friendly and cooperative engineering organization - RSU Stock Plan - Parental, disability leave 100% of salary

      Cons

      - Constant reorgs means lost knowledge shifts in priority - Failure to retain key players - Some managers are toxic, don't care about their employees - Tech stack is a decade old - The customer needs an engineer to just configure the app - Failure to recognize the product has a bad reputation with customers

      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.
