Pros

Great to have on your resume. Somehow the marketplace still thinks this is a great place to work. Land here- do what you can (which wont be much) and leave as soon as you get the offer you really wanted.

Cons

Ashley: This post is directly for you. Social media is the only outlet. If employees dont trust HR, how can we trust an anonymous email to report issues? There are issues in this company- what is holding you back from doing a 360 degree company wide survey on an annual basis? I am giving until end of Q2 for workday to launch a company wide survey employee survey. Without a survey, my next email will be to the same team who did the amazon article, trust me they would love to hear what workday is like from an insiders perspective. Harassment, racial bias, retaliation.....who knows if you give the final direction on these issues but regardless, this needs to reach your desk. Without a 360 degree survey, there is no way these issues will rise to the top. Maybe they have and the real problem is you? Prove me wrong.

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.
