Pros

Compensation and talent. Great pay and competitive benefits as compared to other HR SaaS companies. Amazing bunch of talented and dedicated employees throughout the organization.

Cons

Executive leadership shift and reorgs has many employees uncertain about the future. Second consecutive year of layoffs and health insurance premiums increased. AI rollout moving slower than planned. WDAY taking a sharp hit as are all software stocks.

Pros

Not many, Workday was a great company, great place to work until Carl trashed it.

Cons

Pretty much everything. It was great at one time. I read Carl said he was "proud of what he accomplished". Really?
