Pros

- Decent people for the most part - Great place for new grads to make friends and bond with a team

Cons

-Our team expanded tremendously lately and the number of engineers I support has doubled as new members came from other parts of the org as well as new managers. Yet despite the expanded responsibility, additional expectations and increased work, there has been zero support offered and no talks of a salary increase despite a conversation about it months ago in which I was told mid year bumps were in strong consideration. - XO has no transferability. YP seems like it's never coming. Definitely keep your actual technical skills sharp if you ever plan on leaving Workday - No room for supported technical growth for application developers outside of XO

Pros

There are a few good, experienced people but they are over ruled by an inexperienced, shallow guy put into a job he is not qualified to occupy. He bends to people that are self serving, bad for corporate culture and demeaning to others.

Cons

The entire corporate culture had suffered and it's showing. Leadership is lacking right up to the CEO. Leadership is demeaning to the team. Customers have noticed the arrogance. Inexperienced "leadership" in NYC states use my tithe as if that means something to customers. Lack of loyalty and support for teams is rampant. Mandatory team meetings waste time and money. Managing up is commonplace and those managers that support their teams are discouraged. Horrible culture.

Pros

The people are some of the most passionate and bright that I've ever worked with. The product actually work!

Cons

No 401k match, no maternity / parental leave other than what is mandated by the government through fmla or through individual states (California, Rhode Island, New Jersey). Top leaders say jump and the rest of the organization asks how high. I've been at Workday for about a year and has gone through 2 reorgs and 2 managers already. There is no clear path of career progression or raises / promotions. Management gives the same people recognition quarter after quarter.
