Pros

Fantastic place, very strong culture based on collaboration, employees, innovation and doing the right thing for the customer

Cons

Some employees confuse a culture based on taking care of employees, which is great, with accepting low performance. Fun is corporate value of Workday that should be always tied with success: Success in developing great products, in driving customer satisfaction, in winning against our competitors, etc.
