Vantaggi
The overall culture is a good one - trying to keep a start-up agile mentality. Also big on charity and giving back. In general the compensation and benefits are in line with what you'd expect from a rapidly growing, successful Silicon Valley SaaS company.
Svantaggi
The leadership within internal IT are not thought leaders in this area. Rather, they are reactive to whatever the business wants, regardless of whether it makes sense for Workday as a company. Also, they tend to be reactive to the latest sales pitches, and not analytical about what makes sense for Workday. They are not appreciative or receptive to area expertise that might not align with their view of the world. If you espouse erudition, this is probably not the department for you to work in. If you just like pulling in a paycheck, go for it.
