Pros

- Decent people for the most part - Great place for new grads to make friends and bond with a team

Cons

-Our team expanded tremendously lately and the number of engineers I support has doubled as new members came from other parts of the org as well as new managers. Yet despite the expanded responsibility, additional expectations and increased work, there has been zero support offered and no talks of a salary increase despite a conversation about it months ago in which I was told mid year bumps were in strong consideration. - XO has no transferability. YP seems like it's never coming. Definitely keep your actual technical skills sharp if you ever plan on leaving Workday - No room for supported technical growth for application developers outside of XO

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
