Pros

Once a great place—now lost to politics and poor leadership. Workday used to offer an excellent work-life balance, a genuine employee-first culture, and solid compensation (base + RSUs + bonus). Unfortunately, much of that has eroded. Internal politics now run unchecked, with toxic dev team leaders protected instead of held accountable. Senior management often avoids conflict resolution, acting more like messengers than leaders. The company feels increasingly misaligned—favoring dysfunction over collaboration. It’s disheartening to see such a promising workplace lose its core values. I'm out due to politics, will never return to this org.

Cons

A culture of politics over performance. My experience at Workday was marked by poor leadership accountability and a lack of effective conflict resolution. Toxic behavior among certain dev team leads was tolerated, if not rewarded, while management failed to intervene or foster a collaborative culture. Senior leaders often took a passive stance—acting more as messengers than problem-solvers—leaving high-performing teams vulnerable to internal sabotage. If you're someone who values transparency, fairness, and leadership that actually leads, tread carefully.

Fun, Relaxing, Well compensated, and exciting

Cons

Proprietary Coding Tool, which has a learning curve and can take a while to get used too and doesn't have much use outside of the company
