Pros

Everyone works hard, but it's a team effort. I never felt like people were trying to bolster their own positions at the expense of others. Lots of company events such as hackathons and worker organized clubs. You feel like you are part of a growing company without having to die for it. They are very accomodating, for example they have standing desks!

Cons

There isn't (yet!) a cafeteria - but there are snacks and lots of restaurants nearby. There really is not much to say here.

Pros

People are super friendly and super smart. I was really impressed by how willing to help and ask for help everyone seemed to be, the open office really worked. There was a great sense of comradarie and everyone always seemed to take everyone seriously but still had a sense of humor.I felt that even as an intern if I had an objection to bring up, and sometimes I was solicited for my opinion, it would be taken seriously. Also people really did use the vacations and remote work options, it seemed really indicative of a very good work/life balance Despite being a very large (and ever expanding) company Workday is not afraid to try new things and roll out new processes. This is the way we have always done it is not a good enough answer at Workday.They don't roll things out for the sake of rolling things out but only do it if things are found to add value to the company. Good pay on an internship and provided housing. Snacks and a very friendly welcoming work enviroment. There are a lot of little things that make employees feel cared about. Employee programs host plenty of events to keep things interesting and there are automated external defibrillators, first aide kits and instructions and sharps disposals as well as nursing rooms. It is truly very welcoming and inclusive.

Cons

Their proprietary language has a steep learning curve as it is very different from any of the standard programming languages. You will spend a lot of time in training and then still need a lot of guidance. There is also a lack of documentation. I would be afraid of getting trapped into it and forgetting how to program in more conventional languages. In order to keep up with what is new in technology and keep conventional skills sharp you have to make an extra effort outside of work. Also while pay is great for interns it is not amazing for fulltimers
