      A Decline in Culture Despite Strong Benefits and Engineering Teams - Engineering Workday Employee Review

      Pros

      The benefits are still good, with a hybrid working model and nice people.

      Cons

      I have never seen such a massive gap between the values declared by the company and the way of working implemented and promoted by the middle management team. This discrepancy has worsened over the last 12–18 months, at least in my current organisation. Hiding behind processes and engaging in CYA practices has become the norm. It’s discouraging to witness such a transformation.

      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.
