Pros

Friendly environment. Many people do enjoy working there and are comfortable in their position. Great program for new college grads.

Cons

Although they walk around with smiles and give compliments, the leadership is obviously inauthentic. They will not be honest with you about job performance or opportunities and won't take the time to help you grow. The culture and managers appear to only be focused on weakness and have no idea nor make the effort how to leverage your strengths. The irony is that this is a company that provides human capital management technology and yet this is not a very human-centric company. No 401k match.

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.
