Pros

Some of the company's values still have a positive impact on day to day experience, many teams still have a good culture and supportive management

Cons

Mid and low level management aren't required to follow company culture, can create toxic and unhealthy environments with no repercussions. No two teams will operate the same way There is significant change across the company, and it's relying on the image of it's old culture which is no longer being actively supported

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.
