Pros: Amazing and caring management, a great HR team. Everyone believes in the company's vision and core values. Workday definitely takes care of its employees.

Cons: Most app dev roles require you to use XpressO, their proprietary language.

Pros: - Unlimited PTO, recently expanded parental leave. - Good healthcare, vision, and dental benefits.

Cons: Mandatory "diversity" training is basically pushing a political agenda. If you want to say "mother" instead of "birthing person" like they want you to, that's a conversation with your manager for not being "inclusive". Yikes. Seasoned people are leaving and management doesn't even try to hold onto them. Ironic, because they were the ones preserving Workday culture. In my first week, my manager who had been at the company for 5 years left, and I had nothing to do for months as my new manager dealt with the consequences. Strict no full-remote work policy. Doesn't make any sense either since many teams are distributed and meeting over Zoom anyways.

Pros: Work-life balance is above average. There are talented engineers to work with. Workday clubs are great. Snack program. Great for your resume.

Cons: Xpresso can be a career-limiting technology (though in my opinion, it's a powerful technology). Your quality of life is VERY team-dependent. Some teams are great; others have highly toxic politics. Pay is above average for smaller, less-established companies but far behind the more established ones. Promotions aren't common. It kind of feels like there is an "in crowd" and then there is everyone else. Flexible work-from-home policy isn't. You get Fridays to work from home, and anything more than that and your manager will be speaking with you. Unlimited PTO isn't. It's 4 weeks per year that don't accrue and don't pay out when you leave.
