Culture at Workday is truly special. Yes they have beanbags and do pizza days, however it's the people that make the culture into something truly special that you need to experience IRL in order to understand. I've met some of my best friends here in Workday and for that alone, I'm grateful!
Cons
As Workday becomes more mature, so do some of it's policies around compensation, career growth. Some worrying similarities to the likes of Amazon etc

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.
