Pros

RSUs Plenty of holidays with no issues booking time off. Health insurance for families.

Cons

Long term employees are not rewarded as much as new hires. Plummeting stock value. Pushing AI blindly into everything. Moving away from company values with regards to rewarding employees.

Pros

They tricked many companies into thinking it is a good idea to make prospective applicants jump through the same repetitive hoops over and over again, so they make money while providing a low quality product.

Cons

To apply to any given company, workday requires a unique login for every company that uses their system. Everyone should refuse to apply to any company using workday for applications.
