Pros: There used to be a lot, but management seems to be trying very hard to take it all away.

Cons: Absolute chaos. We used to follow a clear model in which DEVs know what they're doing, QA know what they're doing, and PMs know what they're doing. Now they cut half of QA, and appear set to do the same for PMs, leaving DEVs to do QA and PM work in addition to our own DEV work. It's overwhelming, not to mention stressful, having to do things that we don't feel comfortable doing.

Pros: If you are the type who takes instructions and follows them without any space or time for creativity, join this firm. If you also are the type who work better under inefficient leaders, join this company.

Cons: - I agree with everyone else on this portal about Workday's "clicky" culture. - If you are in the in-crowd, you get away with almost anything. - There is no room for innovation or creativity, as you are expected to follow procedure every single second of your time here. - Creativity is for the higher-ups; if you are on the low rung and want to be creative, you are going to be shot down almost immediately. - The nickname "WorkDaynNight" is very true. Hence, there is no work-life balance at all. - Don't expect your manager to help you figure out your career, strengths, or weaknesses. She will have no interest or intention to contribute to your professional growth. - Benefits are the worst a Bay Area tech company can ever offer. This is the part that is most frustrating: They do not like you moving between teams. They discourage that with all their might. ps: The key to success here is to suck up to HR; there is very little sense of confidentiality in that department.

Pros: Prioritizes work-life balance. Flexible Schedule.

Cons: Stress from management can bleed down to devs during things like outages or releases.
