Pros: Room to move and grow Good benefits Unlimited PTO Great coworkers

Cons: Some managers and directors are terrible, and you can't do anything about it. HR doesn't care about you. Sexual harassment wasn't taken seriously.

Pros: Good culture, fun co-workers. Great work-life balance. Stock is doing well, good ESPP plan, stock refreshers. The Generation Workday new grad program is a good way to make friends.

Cons: Workday’s app dev teams are the product engineering teams, and they build the app using a proprietary GUI-based language called Xpresso. The tools teams work on infrastructure, and they use traditional programming languages like Java and Scala. This review is about app dev only. Hate to say it, but working in Xpresso is a very bad career move for engineers coming straight out of college. Unless you are proactive and work on side projects or continue to learn in your free time, you will forget your traditional coding skills. You will also not be exposed to industry-standard practices and tools by working in a proprietary stack. If you ever decide to leave, you'll likely struggle to find a traditional coding job. Workday probably has good retention rates for app devs not because app devs don't want to leave, but because they can't leave. They tell you that you’ll still learn high-level concepts like design and OOP, but I don’t think it’s enough to make you a competent engineer. They also tell you that you can eventually transfer to a tools team, but it seems like you have to spend several years doing app dev first before you can switch. Also, I think the salary for app devs is below industry average.

Pros: Work-life balance, low stress, good management, friendly environment, good pay.

Cons: Location, proprietary language, some teams are not as friendly.
