Pros

The people you work with are nice and so is the development team. Some decent perks have been rolled out, such as bumped up HSA contribution and 401k matching.

Cons

The culture of secrecy and favoritism is rampant, at least within certain orgs. Re-orgs happen often and mid-to-senior leadership are nowhere to be found. Accountability seems to be 0 for managers who are not grooming their people. Despite negative feedbacks in the form of employees transitioning out of the orgs nothing is done to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Pros

Good people, excellent managers, company conferences are always a blast, straightforward review process, timely feedback from management, flexible schedule

Cons

Pay is far below market average for the bay area, career path can seem a little muddled at times, growth has diluted company culture, hiring has been hit and miss in the last couple years.

Best Company I Have Ever Worked At

Pros

I've never worked at such a transparent and motivating company. They really, really care about employees and customers. Not that I've worked at bad and dishonest companies before, but it's a night and day difference because WDAY doesn't just say the "right" words -- they live by them. It makes me feel that I have to uphold my end of the bargain because it's about integrity and passion. It's about being creative, innovative and going the extra mile for everybody. It's fast paced and exhilarating.

Cons

I think some of the people have become negative -- maybe it's a reflection of our society in general because there is a sense of entitlement. These people should just leave. They're anonymous trolls that try to bring down morale.
