Pros

Super Chill, low expectations, decent pay. Application development is very laid back to the point where team members can do nothing and get by. Once you learn xpresso, life is easy.

Cons

Xpresso is more of a framework than a language Don't really use CS stills. Don't use it, ya lose it.

Pros

Workday does a good job of providing a lot of employee programs (fitness, snack, etc).

Cons

As a Software Application Engineer, you will use Workday's proprietary language called XO. It is horrible. It is soul-sucking and depressing. XO is not a programming language, it is forms that are filled out in a web browser to cause changes in the Workday application. You will not learn anything by using XO. There are no transferable skills to help you in your future if you work here as a Software Application Engineer. Workday knows this and are developing a layer on top of XO called YP. Don't be fooled, YP is not like any common programming language and will not help you in your future either. All I can say is DO NOT work here because you can do better and you deserve better.
