      Senior Software Developer Interview

      Sep 18, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2017

      Interview

      Started with a telephone interview with the hiring manager. This is really a screening interview. I was then invited onsite for a 4 hour interview process. A couple of management interviews and one with some of the devs. For such a long process they managed to keep the stress levels low and at no time did I feel that I was being pressured (challenged yes, but pressured no). Interviewers knew their stuff. Were polite at all times. Got a break in the middle to get my head together a bit

      Question 1

      Challenged with a scenario whereby the work required wouldn't fit into the time available - looking for a resolution to this.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Workday (Vancouver, BC)

      Interview

      Really friendly interview process, the usual behavioral questions. Very little coding questions and all. Be prepared to talk about past work, strengths, weakness etc. Also research the role and job description carefully.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Workday

      Interview

      The 1st round was with the Hiring Manager. Unlike many companies, Workday handled this differently — it was more of a casual discussion focused on behavior, past experience, and overall fit rather than a strict technical screening. The 2nd round focused on the AI projects I worked on. The discussion included topics like handling context overload, modal judgment, and practical challenges faced while building AI-driven solutions. The 3rd round was a coding and technical design round where problem-solving, system thinking, and implementation approaches were evaluated. The final round was a job-critical discussion focused mainly on RAG pipelines, LangChain, and related AI architecture concepts.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Workday (Chennai) in May 2026

      Interview

      I applied for the position through the company website and I was contacted by the recruiter. The recruiter was very professional and explained to me in detail on the interview steps, after which I was sent an email asking me to select the time slot for the first step which is the hiring manager round. Had a good conversation with the hiring manager. The discussions were on the projects which I have worked on. After the first round there has been no contact by the recruitment team till today. When I tried reaching out, I was ignored. I think these days companies are sunsetting the rejection email feature to save the cost or may be it is handled by AI , which might be thinking that such human courtesy is not required.
