Pros

Everyone starts at the same place. No one has prior knowledge that can put them ahead of another workmate (what we call coworkers). All the other workmates are friendly and eager to help because they remember when they were new and how they got help from everyone. At Workday, it's all about paying it forward and keeping that friendly and collaborative environment alive.

One thing I love about Workday is how approachable everyone is. Even the CEOs are approachable! They usually hang amongst the employees at big events like the pool tournament.

You can Skype or Slack someone and ask them for help, and next thing you know, you guys are hanging out at the next company cantina.

Which brings me to my next pro: Cantinas. These are end-of-week parties where free food and booze are provided for the sole purpose of socializing with coworkers. Workday really cares for employees and they want you to be comfortable with who you work with, so they encourage any and all socialization.

There are so many other pros, like company meetings, bonuses, clubs, affinity groups, benefits, RSUs, and working from Ireland, etc., etc.

Cons

Parking. 😓

But we are growing to accommodate our growth in the market. 🙌 Soon, parking spaces for all.

Also, it's still a young company, and they haven't turned a profit, so you get RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) as compensation a lot.
