Pros

The benefits are very good. Great people to work with.

Cons

The proprietary language is disgusting and it's not used anywhere outside. Waste of time, energy, and brain cells. Too heavy management, which adds overhead to the developers under them. Too much hierarchy in management, which is not needed nowadays. Should actually have a somewhat flat structure where everybody produces. People are smart enough to manage themselves and their work. Use your knowledge and skills in building something not to poke into and give suggestions of what to do.

Pros

Workday has been a great place to work for the past six years and it has allowed me to grow my career rapidly with good opportunities. There's a great team and the Dublin office has an amazing culture.

Cons

Growing divide between US and Ireland. Salaries going down in Dublin. Culture has become more cut-throat (see layoffs). Work is being heaped on more. A part of me thinks the gravy train is coming to an end, and Workday as a company is on the decline (see stock price).
