Pros: The culture at Workday is incredibly friendly, supportive, and social. There are lots of opportunities to engage with other employees, even ones outside of your team. Everyone I have encountered on my team has been willing to help, and many will often drop what they are doing to help right there and then.

Cons: On Application Development, a lot of the tech is proprietary and has a really steep learning curve. XpressO is not an easy language to learn, and I have felt unproductive and dependent on help, even now, almost 8 months into the job. Other tech is a little outdated, but we are catching up.

Pros: They treat employees really well.

Cons: None, it is a great place to work.

Pros: - Great company culture. - Fantastic people (not your stereotypical engineering recluse or tech bro). - Unlimited PTO, and they mean it. - Regular raises based on performance. - Active leadership development and a drive to see you succeed in whichever path you choose. - 401k match coming soon. - New HQ places Workday on par with any of the top Bay Area tech companies (cafeteria, gym, etc.).

Cons: Overall, my main complaint is that their total compensation is not on par with the other major tech companies in the Bay Area. The major downside of being a software application developer is working in a proprietary language called XpressO, which has little obvious carryover to other languages. This is done entirely in the UI; there is no line-by-line coding. However, the basic ideas of programming and software structure are strengthened, and there is a shift toward a more conventional programming language in the works.
