Pros

Workday is the BEST company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for some really great companies. Time and time again I’m impressed. Leadership is open and honest. They treat us well with beautiful offices, free snacks, game rooms, team building events, family-friendly functions, and more. The company culture is a great foundation started by Aneel and Dave. What other companies have Fun and Employees as core values? If you are driven but not a bulldozer, work well in a team but don't need to be micromanaged, care about your customers, whether internal or external, and treat people as you'd like to be treated, with mutual respect and empathy, then Workday is the place for you.

Cons

My cons aren't with Workday. They're with the Workmates who are here and don't appreciate what they have. They lack one thing – gratitude. Instead, they’re entitled and it’s shameful. My friends and family are in awe of everything we have here because it doesn’t exist for them in their workplace. It's unfortunate to see negative reviews of Workday since it makes me wonder what the person who wrote it is doing to rectify their own situation. If you have a problem, address it with someone who can help (and that’s not venting to a co-worker, although that does feel good). Don't hide behind a keyboard with anonymous posts. It won’t get you anywhere. And if you don’t like it here, it’s pretty simple; find your dream job elsewhere and we’ll wish you well.

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.
