      Pros

      Work life balance similar to gov job

      Cons

      Filed with B and C players who rest and vest. Not a performance culture. Management doesn’t base rewards and promotion on delivering good tech and products to customers. Leadership of ML team is good at managing up but don’t actually fix issues. They burry problems and keep low performers so they don’t have to deal with red tape of HR. Maybe management could do useful things like get us data? ML team has no product vision or strategy. Just order takers.

      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.
