Pros

For the most part, employees and top management contribute to the company being one of the best in its field. They have made Workday a great place to work for a reason.

Witnessed company growth that is phenomenal without losing much of its core values.

For the most part, a very positive work environment and work/life balance.

The company truly cares about its employees.

Very good snack programs.

Great opportunities within the company and career growth, at least this is how I feel. Encourages internal transfers and personal career growth, but I think it is expected that employees have initiative.

A lot of technical challenges to overcome, which present opportunities to grow and improve.

Management constantly engages with employees to find out pain points and challenges using skip-level meetings, which shows they truly care, or at least they are trying.

Cons

A lot of pros I mentioned might be listed as cons in other reviews. However, it's very hard to give objective views in general about the company. In this case, look at how the company fares in "Great Place to Work," which I believe speaks volumes.

Depending on the team and location, the same thing can be positive or a con at the same time.

As for personal career growth, it is expected that employees have to be initiative and actively engage. Don't expect to just work hard and get recognized. Don't wait to be put into a position to grow; be initiative.

Advice to Management

As I said in pros, it's great management and employees that build a great company.

Advice to Management:

  • Keep engaging with employees and listen to them. There are great employees.
  • Keep the core values of being fun and employee first.
