Pros

I came to Workday as a new graduate, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. In addition to great salary, benefits, employee programs, etc., the characteristic that really sets Workday apart is the people. The whole company really feels like one huge team, which I think is pretty rare, especially in contrast to other companies. There's a ton of trust, and the management structure is super supportive while totally avoiding micromanagement.

Cons

It would be awesome if there were a few more options for subsidized meals on the Pleasanton campus, but the snack program is totally free + provides almost anything you need.

Pros

They treat the employee as best as they can, really good work-life balance, and amazing benefits!

Cons

Working on a proprietary technology that is technically a "mess": not easy to maintain, not easy to develop with.

Pros

Being a company that does enterprise software (a relatively tame field from a publicity standpoint) it's not as stressful to work at Workday than say Facebook or Google where breaking something means it's on the news at 6pm. It's a nice place to work- the pace isn't as frantic as it is with the big fish of the valley. Sales seems to be killing it too.

Cons

Compensation should be higher for a company that at this point is very well known and attractive. The tech needs to be updated and while there seems to be progress... Only time will tell.
