I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Workday in Feb 2020
Interview
I interviewed for a position with the Workday Next team.
I had two interviews. The first interview was a technical phone screen. Basic understanding of data structures will get you through this part. I would not expect anything more challenging than binary trees. For each problem, you were also asked to write your I/O handling and test cases.
The second interview was a 45 minute behavioral phone interview. This was more difficult than the technical phone screen. My interviewer emphasized that cultural fit is very important for Workday, so I would try to study Workday's values and make sure you are able to speak to them in your answers.

OA, 1st round behavioral, 2nd round technical that lasted like 1 hour. Pretty difficult interview comparable to some from big tech. Be prepared, do lots of Leetcode for sure. Good luck expect to hear back in 2 weeks or more.
