Pros: - A very large-scale product, a lot of learning of different technologies. - Best-cultured company. - Employee value. - Perks. - Decent salary. - Strong leadership.

Cons: If you are working on XO App dev (XO is Workday's proprietary metadata-driven functional language), you don't get to work on a real-world programming language. If you consider applying to other places, then you might find it challenging.

Pros: Excellent workmates, great atmosphere. The business cares about employees, even more so during this pandemic.

Cons: No cons that I can think of.

Pros: Once a great place—now lost to politics and poor leadership. Workday used to offer an excellent work-life balance, a genuine employee-first culture, and solid compensation (base + RSUs + bonus). Unfortunately, much of that has eroded. Internal politics now run unchecked, with toxic dev team leaders protected instead of held accountable. Senior management often avoids conflict resolution, acting more like messengers than leaders. The company feels increasingly misaligned—favoring dysfunction over collaboration. It’s disheartening to see such a promising workplace lose its core values. I'm out due to politics, will never return to this org.

Cons: A culture of politics over performance. My experience at Workday was marked by poor leadership accountability and a lack of effective conflict resolution. Toxic behavior among certain dev team leads was tolerated, if not rewarded, while management failed to intervene or foster a collaborative culture. Senior leaders often took a passive stance—acting more as messengers than problem-solvers—leaving high-performing teams vulnerable to internal sabotage. If you're someone who values transparency, fairness, and leadership that actually leads, tread carefully.
