Pros

Overall, a great company to work for. Co-founders are well-respected individuals. High growth, rapid expansion and lots of opportunities. Friendly working environment and lots of social activities for workmates. Well-stocked lunch rooms and regular Friday happy hours. Dog friendly.

Cons

More politics than before, and some have individual or team agenda instead of working toward company goals. The company is made up of mostly employees who were hired in the past 2 years. Miss the team spirit and selfless commitment that took the company public.

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.
