I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in June 2021
Interview
I had an interview with Workday Ireland for Senior Software Engineer few months back. During the first email conversation I shared an incorrect mobile number (one digit typo), which I corrected immediately in a next email. Since then, whenever I had a phone call with him he would call to that incorrect number and I had to call him and had to remind him that it was not the correct number (Even though my correct number is always there in my signature).
The interview was decent till the last round. I got positive vibes from the interviewers. After one week of silence after the last round, I asked for status of the interview. He replied that he would call me the next day. And without any mistake he called that incorrect phone number. As usual I called him after waiting 5 minutes. He mentioned that final response yet to come but we can have salary discussion. He mentioned all the components in details and explained the salary breakup.
After the call again two weeks of silence. Again I asked for the status and he replied that the position has been given to someone else and that other guy yet to accept the offer. So, I have some little hope to get the job (as if he is doing a great favor to me by saying this).
In the meantime I got the offer from another company and joined there. After two months of the last email conversation the recruiter again emailed me for a phone discussion for the same position.
Just sharing this experience for the Workday recruiters so that they can treat interview candidates as a human being and respect their time and effort the invest in the interview.
Thanks you!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
OOPs concept, very basic algorithm question, flexibility to work weekends
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your strengths and weakness? Why do you want to work here?
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.

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.
