Interview
I applied online and took assessment called Pymetrics on the same day. I got an email for the next step the following week and had a video interview with the CSD manager. Preparing for the interview, I read all the reviews on Glassdoor and found that most of the previous interviews were in a quite friendly atmosphere and the interviewers usually asked questions about sales and the company. But my interview was a bit different and I couldn't help but be awkward during the whole interview. Except when the interviewer smiled saying hi and bye.
First of all, the interviewer seemed that she hadn't even looked over my resume before she met me. I got an impression that she was just reading the questions prepared for the interview and they were similar to one another. So I also had to give her similar answers over and over again. What I really didn’t like the most was she embarrassed me by pushing me. She asked like, “Who would you talk to and how would you do when you introduce Workday to new customers?”. I answered like, “I would try to talk to ~ in the ~ department and introduce Workday’s ~ services blah, blah, blah.” But she kept saying, “Who? Who exactly?”, “What product exactly?” To be honest, I still don’t know the answer. Maybe that’s the reason why I didn’t get an offer but I’ve never seen the interviewer like that so far. What’s worse, the sound was breaking up often and I had to keep saying “Pardon?”. She seemed annoying about it and I just had to pretend to understand all she was saying in the end. Lastly, no offence but her Filipino English was hard to understand.
As I knew that Workday is one of the best companies and expected a good interview, I was disappointed a lot. I know I was quite unlucky and I wasn’t good enough. But I believe companies should not forget that so many interviewees spend so much time preparing for just one interview. Please look over resumes at least before you meet candidates.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Salt Lake City, UT)
Interview
Applied for SLC location job. Two pre-screening calls and one in-person meeting. They are upfront on the first call about the salary you qualify for. Second call is a dept. Manager interview. The in-person interview is long, 2 hours. You have two rounds. They want to know why you applied, how you would pitch, etc. The head of the entire team seems pretty downright moody / negative. The other managers seemed more easy going. They do not list in the ad that they hire in waves (they let this one slip in the interview), so turn over is likely high here (but that's totally normal in this role). The managers are all from different teams, so you don't know which one you'll be on and that gives away the turnover situation. It's basically a reverse group interview (never a good sign, especially if it's the other way around!) Their approach slightly hides this. They also fail to mention that the job is a 6AM job - I was smart enough to ask. Sales job ads always hide something... Why on earth a billion dollar company can't open an east coast sales office is kinda bizarre. They claim the role is 'strategic' and not a machine gun style cold call shop. Reviews seem to contradict the claim, but maybe they corrected course to a higher calibre method.
