Pluspunten

Remuneration (base salary, bonus and restricted stock units). I don't think I could get a better paying job in my city. They take career development very seriously and there are lots of opportunities for progression into higher roles. Performance is very data driven, not just opinions. Benefits. Health, income protection, permanent disability insurances. Free financial advice via North Star, which is handy for deciding what do with your restricted stock units when they vest. Monthly wellness benefit. The pay for childcare services booked through Care.com if you need to work outside or if you need someone to pick-up the kids from school so that you can work regular hours. There are lots of discounts available to you. The other engineers in my office are very talented. My team gets to use a lot of the latest tech e.g., latest versions of frameworks, Kubernetes deployments etc. Everyone is very friendly. They emphasise having fun at work via team lunches, office events, clubs etc (my office has a board games club, video games club, Lego club and a music club that I know of, and all clubs get funding from head office for each registered member). The office is well setup and common areas are great...lots of free snacks and drinks.

Minpunten

The code could be better. It's not bad, in fact it's quite good, just not as good as other places I've worked at. You are a cog is a big wheel, so you don't get a chance to do much outside software development e.g. I don't get to work on CI/CD pipelines much. Agile practice seems very rigid instead of allowing each team to use what they think is best. You are expected to be in the office for 50% of days. You cannot choose to work remotely most of the time unless you were specifically employed as a remote worker.

Pluspunten

Workday is a truly values-driven company, and you can feel it every day. We’re in the middle of an exciting transformation to drive more innovation and speed, and while that has meant making some tough decisions, those decisions are always grounded in our core values. Employees and customers are consistently kept at the center, and there’s a real sense that doing what’s right guides how we operate and where we’re going as a company.

Minpunten

Decision-making can sometimes feel slow and unclear, as it’s not always obvious who has true ownership or final say. In a few areas, especially HR, leadership can feel more oriented around selling and positioning our products than around deep, hands-on practitioner experience, which occasionally creates a gap between strategy and the day-to-day needs of employees and managers.

Pluspunten

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Minpunten

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
