Pros: Best people, cool timelines, flexible WFH.

Cons: Expresso Old tech. Need to improve on compensation.

Pros: - Unlimited PTO policy. Easy for engineers to take at least 5-6 weeks off a year. - Dog-friendly office. - Easy to coast by and collect paychecks. - Close to Pleasanton BART. - Most teams allow engineers to work from home once a week. Workday is a great place to work if you live in the East Bay and value work/life balance highly. It's perfect for people with families that want an easy workload and lots of PTO. I never felt stressed to deliver on a deadline. It's easy to get stuck here since you barely feel like it's work.

Cons: - Abysmally low pay/salary compared to other tech companies in the Bay. - Lack of motivated engineers due to low pay. - Proprietary coding language not transferable to other companies. - Promotion is mostly based on tenure, not accomplishment/talent. - Located in Pleasanton. - Snacks/drinks are of the cheapest quality and often run out. If you're an engineer that aspires to leave Workday eventually, avoid at all costs. Working in a proprietary language 9-5 will severely diminish coding skills that other companies actually care about. Nowadays, there's a serious lack of drive when comparing engineers at Workday to other companies. Great engineers have been leaving in droves since last year. Good luck escaping when you've been pigeonholed into your role.

Pros: Workday does a good job of providing a lot of employee programs (fitness, snack, etc.).

Cons: As a Software Application Engineer, you will use Workday's proprietary language called XO. It is horrible. It is soul-sucking and depressing. XO is not a programming language; it is forms that are filled out in a web browser to cause changes in the Workday application. You will not learn anything by using XO. There are no transferable skills to help you in your future if you work here as a Software Application Engineer. Workday knows this and are developing a layer on top of XO called YP. Don't be fooled, YP is not like any common programming language and will not help you in your future either. All I can say is DO NOT work here because you can do better and you deserve better.
