Some teams still have that amazing culture that made Workday unique. If you're lucky, the culture is worth the low compensation and poor tech stack

Outsourcing jobs while pretending to care about you Upper management intentions are no longer transparent Upper management seems directionless In comparison to other big tech companies, compensation is low
