Pros

- Really nice and skilled people in some teams

Cons

- Workday culture is becoming more and more toxic - Offshoring most of the jobs to India - Cost cutting everywhere (data retention, RSU,salary, holiday parties, on-call payments and so many other areas...) - For people considering joining workday: It used to be great, but right now avoid it at all cost...
