      Pros

      Laid back attitude, allowed to work from home sometimes, good work-life balance are all great parts of working at Workday. Also, the company is successful and generally people are upbeat. Also nobody gets fired here. So considering the company outlook, this is a great place to work if your priority is job security and low stress.

      Cons

      Limited exposure to widely used frameworks and development tools--this is especially true for Application Developers. On the Tools team you get more exposure, but it's mostly just Java and a little bit of XML processing. The problem is a "Not Invented Here" attitude, that results in more work for you and fewer employable skills to gain. A little too much company kool-aid; sometimes the hype gets to me. Not all managers are top notch (they get fired more rarely than employees) and some are just plain ineffective and annoying (but most of them were at least developers at some point). Also pay is low.

      Pros

      -The company is still growing like crazy and there is a huge marketplace for Workday's product, especially internationally -Great benefits

      Cons

      -The workplace has become toxic since the Feb 23 layoffs and leadership changes -Carl might be a great CEO, but he is changing the culture and not for the better -Cash comp was never in the upper echelon at Workday, but that was okay because equity grants made up for it. As of last year, unless you live in the Bay Area and are a super high-performer, you won't be getting much equity.
