Pros

They tricked many companies into thinking it is a good idea to make prospective applicants jump through the same repetitive hoops over and over again, so they make money while providing a low quality product.

Cons

To apply to any given company, workday requires a unique login for every company that uses their system. Everyone should refuse to apply to any company using workday for applications.

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.
