Great combination of work-life balance, culture, and benefits

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great company culture - Fantastic people (not your stereotypical engineering recluse or tech bro) - Unlimited PTO, and they mean it - Regular raises based on performance - Active leadership development and a drive to see you succeed in whichever path you choose - 401k match coming soon - New HQ places Workday on par with any of the top Bay Area tech companies (cafeteria, gym, etc.)

Cons

Overall, my main complaint is that their total compensation is not on par with the other major tech companies in the Bay Area. The major downside of being a software application developer is working in a proprietary language called XpressO, which has little obvious carryover to other languages as it is done entirely in the UI - no line by line coding. However, the basic ideas of programming and software structure are strengthened, and there is a shift toward a more conventional programming language in the works.
