I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2024
Interview
First call is with a recruiter and describes the stages of the interview process. Next you share your availability for the next 2 weeks and they schedule an interview with engineering manager. This is more of a non technical interview. A lot questions about previous experience and scenario type questions.
Next was 30 minute technical interview with a software engineer. He posed shared a PR review of some java code and you had to talk through what was wrong or what could be improved. I was caught off guard here and did very poorly. I was notified a over a week later that they would not be proceeding with my application.
It's a very slow process unfortunately. They take at least a week to schedule the next interview.
For just 3 interviews the process took about 5 weeks.
