      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      14 Feb 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Workday in Jan 2024

      Interview

      I am a bit baffled by their overall hiring process and the end goal they are trying to achieve. Would not recommend. Application: I applied through their portal after which a recruiter connected with me and scheduled the next round two months later. Hiring Manager round: This interviewer seemed to only be interested in checking boxes for certain buzzwords without a care in the world about what I was saying. He first asked me a very vague question about VIBE, and then seemed utterly disinterested in the experiences I was sharing. The very next question (and the silliest in my opinion) was whether I had joined my current company with my existing title or was I promoted. The implications of this question, I do not wish to delve on. What followed was a barrage of increasingly abstract questions around OOD. In multiple instances, I had answered the next few questions in the same flow only to have to repeat them since those were the next in his checklist. Overall, he seemed to have made up his mind in the first question or even before the interview and the subsequent back and forth was just to cement his belief. I would recommend the hiring managers to at least feign interest in the potential candidates for the thirty minutes that they allot.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      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.
