Entire process to about a month after being first contacted on linkedIn by workday.

2) A technical interview on the phone to design a application different entities from a web page.
3) 3 consecutive face to face interviews at workday in Dublin. People were very friendly and the interviews very relaxed. The bar is quite high though, you need 3/3 on the interviews to get an offer apparently.

Question 1
For the 3 interviews at Workday, the focus was on testing, coding and architecture and I had to present my views on those subject by presenting some of my past achievements.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Workday (Pleasanton, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. Brief phone call with the recruiter was followed by a phone interview of 45 minutes with the hiring manager. The interview was mostly behavioral, past experience and few questions on OOD basics. Was invited for in person interview couple of weeks later. There were 3/4 managers, one demo of their IDE and one technical interview with two members from development teams. Their OOD is centered around the object model they use in Espresso which I realized is not entirely industry standard. Their application stores data as object not a client /server model where data is stored in RDBMS or NoSQL DB platforms. They seem to pull data on demand based on object relationships where traditional model fetches data from the RDMS, I felt this makes the object model a bit different. Their Espresso IDE demo will make it more clear.
