Pros

Free snacks on every floor

Cons

If you join as an "app dev" working with their proprietary "technology", it will destroy your career. If you don't care about your career and want to coast for a couple years, this is the perfect place for you. If you have no choice but to come here, have a plan to get out as soon as you can. I joined out of college and brainwashed into thinking that the skills are transferable, that the culture and WLB is worth it. It's not. I am UNHIREABLE in the current technology space due to this "technology" and I'm sure many other co-workers are the same. It is impossible to justify this "tech stack" to future employers. I destroyed my life and career staying here. And because of this proprietary "technology", there are no AI tools to speed up development. Workday will be left behind in this new AI era.
