Pros

They are still trying to uphold the facade of what Workday once was, which makes it slightly better than other tech companies. The tide will turn completely in the near future I’m sure.

Cons

Workdays value proposition was historically - look after your people, your most important (and expensive) asset. It has now changed to cull the people and replace them with bots. This is reflected in the culture. Efficiency over humanity. This is now what we sell and how we behave. RIP Workday.

Pros

- Large stock grant when joining Workday

Cons

- Instead of giving raises, they grant stock - that doesn’t beat for 4 years … I heard this may have changed - Only raise I received, despite promotion, was when I received cost of living increase
