Pros

Worked at Workday for little over 3 years. Some of the reviews felt too harsh to me. Like every company, Workday has its pros and cons. - Good culture / work life balance - Benefits are still good even after some reduction in recent months. - AI trainings for everyone and they encourage everyone to be AI ready

Cons

- Increments are disappointing. If you aren't promoted, the hike will be extremely low. - RSUs form a big chunk of your compensation and the taxes on it are extremely heavy. - Wellbeing allowance was discontinued recently. I feel they shouldn't have done that. Every company offers it these days. - In some teams, promotion is very difficult and will take time. - A lot of activities have been done lately which clearly shows a heavy inclination towards cost cutting.

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.
