I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Workday (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Lengthy process and few of the interviewers asked same kinda questions, how you ensure quality, team collaboration, innovation etc. All designing questions on UML and used Lucid chart and gliffy tools.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
7 rounds and nothing :)
It was all UML designing, AMC theater, Bank and cards and transaction and Ride share application design. Prepare well on Cardinality and try not to have redundancy. I think I messed up behavior interview, how innovative you were at your job, conflicts with team members etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Workday (Pleasanton, CA)
Interview
Applied online for an applications engineer role and within a few days the recruiter set up an initial phone screen with me. Nothing out of the ordinary on this phone call other than a brief question about an OOP example. Pretty straightforward.
About a week later was an hour long interview with the hiring manager for the given requisition. This was split into a behavioral and technical portion over a video chat. The behavioral portion was very conversational and pleasant. The technical portion was an OOP exercise using UML class diagrams. Basically given a UML diagram representing some system, find ways to improve it.
About a week later was a virtual onsite. This onsite consisted of a total 6 interviews, of which 2 were technical. Met various members of the team & organization. The behavioral interviews were standard questions, again geared in a conversational format. Of the two technical interviews, one was a shared screen UML class diagram exercise where given some requirements, design a system. The other technical interview was a coding round (unexpected, as other Glassdoor experiences indicated there wouldn't be any) about finding the longest distance to a leaf on a binary tree given some node.
Interview feedback was provided within 3 business days. Was told they went in a different direction based on technical needs, which wasn't a huge surprise since I hadn't used UML until I started prepping for this interview, and was certainly not expecting a coding question.
Overall, the process was good even though I didn't make it through. Big thanks to the recruiter for keeping me well updated and acting promptly for each subsequent interview step. Everyone I spoke to was really kind, and it made me appreciate the company's culture. However I did get the vibe that Workday recruits and puts together teams of people from very similar academic backgrounds, which certainly doesn't help with diversifying teams.
