Pros

They care about their employees & their culture Many teams at Workday allows for inter company mobility Good leadership at the C suite level, company direction & growth is great

Cons

Below industry standard salary Most good young engineers leave within a few years because company refuses to pay industry standard (something a lot of companies do that I will never understand, continuity & product knowledge is worth so much) Promotions are slow to go to the deserving, years at the company is the primary factor. Promotion cycles in general are slow & locked to semi-yearly cycles Middle management is murky, not straightforward/honest/realistic about pay structures and hiring practices. Seems as though they are coached to not be transparent Too much bureaucracy & too many meetings. Lost its startup feel & development can be slow paced at times Very political about letting employees work remote, very few exceptions granted Not really allowing remote work
