Pros

Good benefits and nice coworkers. Used to love working here.

Cons

Ever since Carol took over, he’s ran workday into the ground. He only cares about profit, acquisitions and AI. The core value of employees no longer applies now that Carl works here. There is no real strategy for the business. We’ve had multiple layoffs and they’ve gotten rid of critical roles and kept people whose roles are redundant simply because they have connections with higher ups. They’re silently removed diversity initiatives, cut back employee event budgets, rolled back benefits we used to have and became so cheap with everything.

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.
