Pros

* nice office location * competitive compensation package

Cons

* complete chaos in management - shifting direction 180 degrees every 6 months * culture in the office not as it used to be * unnecessary layoffs * life on promises: - promises of new product and expansion (instead there is a layoff) - promises of multisport for 2 years - promises of career growth and opportunities (instead you support legacy solutions)

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.
