Pros

The people you work with re incredible. Highly intelligent and capable for the most part.

Cons

Where to start? When I first joined WD it was an incredible place. I felt like it was too real to be true. Unfortunately I was right. After much turmoil, an org restructure, layoffs and then a new organization - we finally settled with terrible middle management. The entire Org is constantly giving feedback especially about management but the feedback falls on deaf ears. Leadership is detrimental, turnover is happening at a high rate and there are rumors of ethics complaints and a potential discrimination class action lawsuit coming together because of bullying, harassment, and discrimination. Morale is incredibly low. Work is incredibly overloaded and if you complain you are pushed out. If you are suspected of giving negative feedback you become a target. Fear drives the org. It’s incredible work we are doing, But the treatment received is toxic and abusive. Leadership continues to pat themselves on the back but it’s ridiculous when the team is running on fumes except those with preferential treatment. I am really happy to be out but feel so bad for everyone else that has been left behind. GPO really has to get rid of the toxic leadership to avoid not only a lawsuits, but the breakdown of the organization.

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.
