Pros

People are nice to you. It is called "Workday Nice" There is a strong culture that identifies with the mission.

Cons

You can be "nice" (including the ever popular 'to your face' and 'passive aggressive' types) and get far here even if you don't do much from a productivity standpoint. Look busy and make people like you and you will be fine. If you want to work in Data Science, stay away. They are for the most part not a tech savvy company and are ok with that. Come here and learn nothing. Or only things that will not help you in your field. Diversity and inclusion is really kind of a joke here (though they wouldn't admit it). They mark a few boxes, for sure, but it is more superficial. Enough not to get a lawsuit etc.

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
