Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Workday (Dublín, Dublín) in Dec 2020
Interview
We had initial interview with hiring manager about previous roles and how would I fit. Then they gave me task to write, needed to write a job executor class that needed to be fair with regards to customers jobs belong to. Task does not have right solution. So I wrote one that was working well best to the level of specifics about task. Lost a day working on it and they didn't even bother to come and analyse it, explain if they don't like it, what is it that they don't like. Such waste of time.
