Great company culture and top-notch engineers
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
October 28, 2016
Pros: If anything, Workday is great at three things: having fun, rewarding talent, and creating a great product.
The engineering staff is brilliant, and great ideas are rewarded and embraced by management.
The engineering culture is 'no divas, no cowboys,' and this encourages teams to cultivate growth in new members as opposed to isolating them in the shadow of senior team members.
Workday engineers are less concerned with job titles and more concerned about collaborating to create a stellar product which we can all truly believe in.
Cons: As is the case with cloud computing, there are a lot of moving parts that make up the Workday product, and many of them are Workday proprietary.
So, if you do not like to learn new things, this might not be the job for you. But if you love being on the cutting edge of tech and enjoy new challenges, then you will thrive.
