Pros

I have some amazing colleagues who I genuinely love working with. People are generally very decent and respectful and there are far fewer egomaniacs than I have encountered at other similarly sized companies.

Cons

In the 6 years that I’ve been at Workday I’ve watched it morph from a really unique employee-centric & values driven company into just another big tech company. Unfortunately leadership will not own up to this as the “employee first” culture that they pretend still exists is literally the only value proposition for potential employees as comp is below average and the tech stack is a disaster
