Pros

Competitive compensation relative to the scope of work Benefits are reasonable, though trending downward recently Strong presence of talented, intelligent, and dedicated people Limited growth and career development opportunities

Cons

New executive leadership lacks sufficient domain understanding and context Accountability is unclear across leadership layers The company is at a critical inflection point Heavy reliance on offshoring while internal knowledge is being diluted Aggressive cost-cutting without corresponding strategic reinvestment Overall direction feels unclear due to mounting technical debt, while leadership pursues AI narratives and acquisitions instead of foundational fixes

Pros

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Cons

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
