      Software Engineer Interview

      May 15, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Workday in Apr 2024

      Interview

      I have mixed feelings about the interview process. I had 2 encounters with the company for 2 different positions: 1) Recruiter screening, then interview with a hiring manager who asked some questions about experience, plans, team collaboration/mentoring. I got a message from a recruiter a few days after that I was not selected to move forward without detailed feedback (which is fine, it not always could be provided at this stage). 2) Different recruiter screening followed by the technical interview. The first time it seemed that the interviewer did not confirm the meeting and it did not happen. I wrote to a recruiter and it was rescheduled. To my disappointment, it was the worst case of a Leetcode-style interview with a task you would never come across in a real job and where you are expected to learn the solution by heart and type it like a poem. The interviewer was not interested in discussions/understanding how I would approach the solution etc. I did not write a complete working code. Also, the interviewer asked some questions about company culture, again he was not looking for a conversation, just needed to ask because "they" (meaning company) are concerned with culture. The recruiter followed up in a few days that I was not selected due to technical interview results. I also attended one event Workday organized in their office, which was really great: speak to employees and hear from the leaders. However, the information that they look for "curiosity and problem-solving" in interviews did not resonate with my experience. They said they would follow up with a feedback form/questionnaire in a few days and sort of mark somewhere that attendees were interested. Of course, I did not expect that I would get any kind of special treatment after attending but a few weeks passed and this questionnaire was never sent. Coupled with the interview experience all of this gave a weird overall impression, especially after watching the video where some employee nearly cried because he loved working at Workday so much. I still believe that the company is about people, but it may be that this culture just does not scale much and exists now only somewhere at headquarters.
