      Account Executive Interview

      14 Mar 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pleasanton, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Pleasanton, CA) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Got through multiple phone screens, was told they had a position open, and then when I got on site was let down. Bottom line- when I got on site for my interview the person said to me "we already filled the spot but did not want to tell you not to come in and interview with short notice". This is an absolute joke. They knew they filled the job and didn't have an open position but still grilled me and made me go through an interview- absolutely unacceptable. This is the second time I tried to interview here and both times was turned off by the company and employees. Others that I know also interviewed here and had a similar experience. The overall vibe to those interviewing is that MOST of the people at the company feel like they are better than you and they belittle you. Workday is not the best company in the world and is not the only company in the world. They need to be more humble and respectful. Over the years I have interviewed many places and this one has left one of the worst taste in my mouth out of them all. Don't waste your time or energy. For a company in the HR space you would think they would have it more together. Total let down.

      Anonymous employee
      Stockholm, Stockholm
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Workday (Stockholm, Stockholm)

      Interview

      A bit lengthy, but Workday is very picky. If the cultural fit is not there it does not matter if you are a rockstar. Quite a few steps to go through before the final panel

      Account Executive Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Workday (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      Was reached out by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Had a quick call with the recruiter before moving me to the next phase. Was told I would have a call with Solutions Consultant Manager, a deal review with the direct hiring manager and counterpart, and final interview with higher up leader. Interview was relatively easy. Have been in tech sales for 7+ years and have always been told my deal reviews are great. The hiring manager cared more about the slide content being too concise than the deal win itself which was a larger transformational deal that showed prospecting, executive alignment, and business justification/value creation. Overall, knew the direct hiring manager wasn't a fit for me if they were hung up on a slide being too concise and not the conversation it allowed for during the interview. Decided to decline the final interview with the higher up and stay in my current role.
