      Senior Software Applications Engineer Interview

      Mar 29, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Dublin, Dublin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      After HR call you and explains everything, you can expect 5 rounds of interview. • Initial screening - Generally 30 min phone interview taken by a manager, discussing about your experiences, agile process, little technical questions, if they like you they will try to sell Workday • Tech test - 60 mins to tech test, asking you to build a UML diagram for a given problem. Depending upon role, they can expect more. This is taken by two (pair up) application developers. • Demo of xpresso: An application developer will show how to write code in xpresso. • QA interview - QA Manager talk about testing approaches, UT vs ST, Agile processes etc • Architecture interview: A senior software engineer will go thru your project architecture, some object modelling questions, some OOP concepts. • Cultural: Generally taken by a Manager. (or, above) to check if the candidate fits culturally. Like, open-minded, interested in Workday and xpresso, and solution-oriented mindset, ability to learn, team player etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      • What is continuous integration? • Basic question on ERP? • UML diagram for ordering an item from Amazon • Why Workday • What kind of processes do you follow? and followup questions on explaining those. In short, don't worry, their interview process is very easy. If you pass the tech test - you can be sure. Rest interviews are easy if you are a good story teller.
