One of our core values is fun. We like to make sure we have plenty of options available for when you need some downtime. Our site features ping pong, pool, gaming, board games, break-out areas, yoga rooms and various social clubs and activities for you to enjoy.
We also provide a range of yummy snacks and refreshments to empower your day and fuel your energy.
Our top floor is called 'Spéir' which means 'sky' in Irish. Named by our own people, this stunning location features 360-degree, panoramic, views of Dublin; especially scenic when viewed from our new rooftop garden.

Pros
Joined Workday in Dublin this week and the experience from application, to each interview stage, through to receiving the offer was exceptional - fast, efficient, professional but above all I felt like they really went above and beyond to make it a truly personal experience. The welcome I received from the team I’m working with has been beyond amazing. I feel at home already! Plus I’ve been set up for success through the thoughtful and well planned onboarding plan from week one through to the next 6 months. This is what a great candidate experience feels like! So excited to work with great teams and partners in a company that places culture, values and people at the core of everything!
Cons
Haven’t experienced any at this stage
Advice to Management

Interview
I interviewed with Workday on November 2018.
I had 2 phone screens. First one was technical with a leetcode easy question, next was a behavioral. They gave me an option for a traditional algorithms question or a standard data science question. Behavioral was mostly me explaining my projects and standard questions like "where do you see yourself in the future"
