I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2018
Interview
- Interview with an HR person.
- Broad Technical phone interview
- Home technical assessment : a utility program with a medium difficult algorithm
- Onsite interview : 3 interviews covering coding, broad technical knowledge and culture fit.
- Final culture fit interview
I had a great Workday recruiter. He gave me exactly the information I needed, was very helpful and very reactive.
Interview process was really clear. Interviews themselves had the right balance in terms of difficulty. (not to hard but gave me the opportunity to show my skills)
Interviewer mostly made me feel at ease and asked sensible questions.
Offer was made in a very comprehensive manner, giving me exactly what I needed to make my choice.
Declined offer after a very tough choice for me having two first-class offers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"classic" soft skills questions but with with some good follow up questions.
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.

Interview
Manager Round. Followed my HM round, two technical round ( coding + system design). Then final decision. Team said cleared the interview loop but not a good fit to hire for senior software engineer position.
