I had a stellar interview with the recruiter – he was awesome and spent a great deal of time with me. As his background was in systems implementations, we really got into technical details and systems. I was impressed and could not wait for my next interview with the hiring manager and colleague. That was a disaster. The first question was ‘tell me about your current project’. That is so vague that I was not sure what direction to take. I believe I was going down the wrong path because I could tell she was disinterested – she had glasses and I could see the reflection that she was reading some other screen and doing work and not looking at me. I don’t believe they even had my resume or asked me anything specific about my background. The other person did not even bother to turn on his camera. When I asked the end if they would like me to expound on anything else, she just gave a rather terse ‘no’. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes and then they gave me the opportunity to ask questions. I never heard back from the recruiter after this. I really had high hopes and was excited to interview, but after this lack of professionalism – I would not work there.

Recruiter screening, followed by behavioral interview, followed by two job fit interviews, and an executive interview. Process was not bad, although it is very long, but the main feedback was that some of the interviewers seem to have pre-conceived notions of experience. This may be due to some of the interviewers being acquired, instead of organically Workday, but they seemed to dismiss prior experience if it wasn't the same solution they had been working on. Just something to note, make sure to explain EXACTLY how it's related to them or they won't understand.
