Pros

Workday is a good company to work for, but it depends on which team.

Cons

The payroll qa leadership is especially plagued with corrupt practices. Let me highlight a couple of things. We recently received our compensation updates. A lot of capable people were not given promotions even though they deserved it. And the message that was given is that you need to be performing at the next level to earn a promotion. Ok. But, recently we had a QA reorg, and there was a Sr.management opportunity given to somebody who was new to the team. They were not performing at the next level: lack of experience and capability. They have shown incompetence and are yet given opportunities WTF? Is there something illicit between sr management and the layers?

Pros

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Cons

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
