Workday Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – The initial phone interview took place a month ago before the in person interview. Nothing technical was asked. mostly they wanted to know weather the team is comfortable working with you.

Interview Details – I applied for this position along with the Associate Instructional Developer position in December, around Christmas break via the company website. Three months later I was contacted for a phone screen for the instructional developer role. I was more interested in the associate content developer role, but I went through the motions in hopes of eventually telling the recruiter that I was more interested in the Associate Content Developer position. I told the recruiter that I was more interested in this position, so she kindly forward my resume to the recruiter for the content developer role. About a week later I received an email saying that the hiring manager was interested and would like to schedule a phone screen. The phone screen was very relaxed and she just asked me about my background an why I was interested in Workday. Immediately after, I was invited to take a content development test. About four hours after I submitted the test, I was invited to fly out for the official final round of interviews. A week later, I attended the interviews. Everyone there was so nice and it was a great opportunity to get a feel for the culture at Workday. I was given a subtle hint that I would be hired at the end of the day. Three weeks later, I was notified that I still needed to have two phone screens to complete the process. Two weeks later, I had the phone screens and was told that I would receive the offer.

Negotiation Details – There really wasn't an opportunity to negotiate. The recruiter assured me that I was being offered the highest possible rate for the position. I happily accepted.

Interview Details – Recruiter reached out through Linkedin. 3 - 4, 1 hour calls with CSD Managers, 4 hour in person interview, formal offer, 1-2 week training at Pleasanton HQ

Reason for Declining – Many factors: Low salary base of $37k, no hard details on commission package only to be provided after employment, did not allow me to speak with someone current in the role, unprofessional recruiter who seemed a bit desperate and pushy. Bottom line: I don't make plans on future promises.

Interview Details – I attended the job fair at UCSD, talked to the recruiter for a quick 5 minutes. A few days later I received a phone call asking if I would be able to come in the following week for an interview. I obliged. It was a quick 30 minute interview with one of the developers, I will go into detail regarding the questions below. At the end of my interview he asked me to do some basic testing of the different optimizations we did for calculating Fib numbers. I wrote a detailed report implementing Fib several different ways (recursive, iterative) with several different optimizations using several different data-structures. Lastly, I implemented it in OCAML just for some bonus code. After sending my email the interview responded saying to "Expect to hear from us soon" Roughly two weeks later I received a phone call with my offer. So in all, I only had 1, 30 minute interview and a follow-up email. I am fairly certain that this is not standard practice and most interns fly to the Workday campus for a full day of interviews.

Negotiation Details – I did not attempt to negotiate the offer but it included a competitive salary and complimentary housing.

Interview Details – Career fair -> campus interview -> onsite

Interview Details – Had on campus screen on one of those bad days you have..

Interview Details – The Hiring process was extensive, I sent my resume to them at least 5 times AFTER they hired me. I also had to fill out three or four applications.

Negotiation Details – Not a whole lot of negotiation. They made and offer and i accepted it, it is hard to negotiate salary. However, you can always negotiate vacation time.

Interview Details – First round was a conversation for about an hour. Second was interviews with about 5 different people. Final was a day long even full of knowledge and interviews.

Interview Details – 2 phone interviews and one face to face.
