      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Jan 13, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      The process started with a Workday recruiter reaching out through LinkedIn about potential opportunities. After I have expressed interest, and forwarded my CV, the next step was a phone interview with a manager of the group I was being recruited to. These were followed by a more technical phone screen with a senior engineer in the group, and then a set of four interviews on-site at Workday in Dublin. The on-site lasted 3.5h and consisted of two soft-skill interviews with managers, and two technical rounds with engineers. After the on-site, I was extended an offer of employment and then invited to spend a couple of hours with the team during a normal working day, to get a much better idea of what they actually work on. This involved a run through the technology stack, ideas and plans, while - of course - keeping the secret sauce secret. The entire process took exactly 26 calendar days, with Christmas and New Years in between, hence closer to two working weeks in reality. Very efficient and well organised throughout. At any given point in time I was fully aware of what was going on, and what the next steps were, and the feedback loop was very well managed. There was only one person from the recruiting team interacting with me at all times, and they've done a superb job. I can appreciate all the effort the entire team has put into the process, and it really provided for an extremely positive experience on my side, even though in the end I have decided to not accept Workday's offer. The offer itself was competitive, with a good base salary and benefits package. As for the interviews itself, details are covered by an NDA, but in general it was a set of standard soft-skill questions, and technical questions of varying, but below average difficulty, if compared to other large tech companies . Good use of the "push them, until you break them" technique, which is quite popular these days. Nothing out of the ordinary, or outright bizarre like you might see at Google.

      Anonymous employee
      Dublin, Dublin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2024

      Interview

      The process was extremely approachable and smooth, the recruiter was extremely helpful and was always available for any question I had. I had another process approaching the final stages and the recruiter went above and beyond speeding up the process in order for me to be able to match the other process. Everyone I got to interact with was extremely kind and patient, after several rounds I was given an offer that was closer to the upper range of the salary I mentioned earlier on.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Pune) in Mar 2024

      Interview

      The interview process was smooth. There were three rounds, including HR, Technical, and behavioural. In the technical round, I was asked two basic coding questions. The process was Easy, not so difficult, and I would say the Interviewers were very good and good listeners.
