Pros

- Generally great and friendly people - Company cares about the happiness of employees

Cons

-Xpresso is the death of a career. Some internal initiatives are evidence to how unsuccessful Xpresso is and efforts to "revitalize" the language. Application developers hate it and other engineers openly mock the language that developers have to use. - Underpaid. Even after "market adjustments," application developers are underpaid compared to the industry standard. If you're going to make developers learn a new language and trap them to a poorly built construct, at least compensate them appropriately in return. - There's no concept of exploring new technologies as an application developer. Sure you can learn new technologies within Workday, but again they're all Workday specific that are not transferrable in any way. Workday only makes developers better for Workday, not in general.

Pros

Good Worklife balance. Spend $$ on employee events.

Cons

Everyone that i worked with was either related or a former colleague of management. Didn't seem that the most qualified person was hired, just the more people you knew at Workday, the more likely you were to get hired/promoted. There is no career path for the few that are hired on as worker bees. The company tries hard to maintains it's image as a "great place to work".
