Average Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Workday (Copenhagen, Capital Region) in Sep 2023

Interview

The interview in total had 5 rounds, 1 HR screening , 2 Technical ( 1 with hiring manager , 1 on Hacker rank coding interview) and last 2 were with higher management

Interview Questions
  • Though I didn't not get the offer I would like point out the seamless interview process and one of good HR I have come across. 1 HR - The HR was very welcoming and asked questions based on shared resume. explained what is expected out of this job role and shared general interview process and timelines and guided for next round 2 Hiring Manager : Again a very good human being. I explained my past projects with STAR method and what I can contribute to this role with my current skillset and he also had some situational based questions, some product analysis questions 3. Hacker Rank : The interviewer was very helpful and explained me the process and timeline for each questions, but the interview Qs were prepared based on interviewers experience (Python, AI and ML) 80% of the questions was having python coding and (Though I had mentioned I do not have hands on experience in python coding in my previous rounds and its in my resume too) the job description also mentioned other skill set like Data Management, Data visualization and AWS data lakes and ETL which was not even part of the interview as mentioned in the preparation mail shared by HR coordinator. though there were 1-2 questions surrounding SQL but the interviewer was not interested in spending more time on those Qs I can understand lack experience might be the reason for it. I tried explaining my thought process wherever I couldn't do python coding, Advice to Talent acquisition team: 1. If you are looking for a particular skillset then add it as must have for the job role and dont add 10 supporting skillset to the JD. 2. If team wants versatile candidate on the team then please make sure interviewer possesses similar skillset or have some knowledge about it.

It started with a recruiter contacting me. I then moved onto the hiring manager interview and then the Director level interview. I did not get a good vibe from the Director level.

Workday

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Vancouver, BC

No Offer
Negative Experience
Difficult Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Workday (Vancouver, BC)

Interview

I wish I could give negative 10 stars. My experience with Workday's hiring process has been nothing short of frustrating, disappointing, and utterly unprofessional. From the start, I was excited about the opportunities with Workday. As a perfect match for the roles I applied for, with years of relevant experience and a glowing internal referral from a current Workday employee, I was confident about my potential for these positions. However, my excitement quickly turned into disillusionment as my application seemed to fall into a black hole. Despite my proactive attempts to follow up, there was a complete lack of response or feedback from the recruiters and hiring managers over a span of two months. My concerns deepened when a friend, who applied for the same position weeks after I did, was promptly contacted for an interview. This disparity in response times was not only shocking but incredibly disheartening. I attempted to seek clarification from Workday’s recruitment team and internal managers about the status of my application and this discrepancy. Unfortunately, their silence only added to my frustration, further souring my impression of the company. The hiring process is a crucial part of an organization, as it reflects the company's values and treatment of potential employees. Sadly, Workday's approach seems disorganized, unresponsive, and inefficient. This experience has severely tarnished the company's reputation in my eyes. Workday's blatant disregard for communication and transparency throughout the hiring process is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. The seeming incompetence of the recruiters and hiring managers has been a bitter pill to swallow. I would have expected more from a company of Workday's stature. This experience has been a frustrating waste of time and I can confidently say I will not be considering any future opportunities with Workday. This is not a review I take lightly or enjoy writing, but my hope is that it can help others to manage their expectations when considering roles with Workday.

Interview Questions
  • My interactions with Workday were limited solely to their automated email service, a starkly impersonal experience. To gain clarity, I reached out to the recruiter responsible for the role, expressing my concerns and seeking an update on the status of my application. The recruiters at Workday displayed a shocking level of disregard for their applicants, bordering on cowardly behaviour. This absolute non-response to a candidate's earnest inquiries, I believe, is inexcusable and reflects poorly on the organization's values.

Good recruiting process, however can be a bit more open when people get rejected. I enjoyed the process of having multiple sessions and not rush anything. A lot of clarity and GO from both sides for next steps.

Interview

During the interview process, I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful and well-structured approach of the interviewers. They started with a friendly chat to get to know me better, followed by a technical assessment that challenged my problem-solving skills. The final round consisted of a panel interview where I had the opportunity to showcase my experience and how I could contribute to the team. Overall, the interview process was engaging and gave me a positive impression of the company's values and culture.

Interview Questions
  • "Can you describe a time when you faced a challenging project and how you successfully managed to overcome obstacles?" "How do you approach working in a team, and what strategies do you employ to ensure effective collaboration?" "Could you share an example of a situation where you had to make a quick decision under pressure, and how did it impact the outcome?"

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Munich, Bavaria)

Interview

I had multiple interviews: first with HR, then with the tech lead and after that there was a practical test where I had to design a system with an UML diagram. This last part felt a little awkward because there was a lot of silence between questions even though everything was correct. Proof is I got an offer of 70.000 after that I refused because I didn't want to work with their proprietary language. They were really clear about it and everyone was nice and honest through all the process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Workday (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2023

Interview

Applied through their portal HR reached out to setup a call with the hiring manager. Overall it was a very non technical interview, however I got 0 feedback till the end, and felt a little arbitrary in terms of rejection. But given how quirky the questions and the whole developer experience was described to be, I think they are looking more for an exact culture for over competency.
