I applied online. I interviewed at Workday (San Francisco, CA)

Interview

Drawn out process over weeks. Very uncoordinated. Led to believe there was an offer then ghosted multiple times. Passed around between recruiters who were on spring break. I expected better communication and coordination from a company of this size.

Real Solid phone interview, Of course I wish i got a call back but overall their recruiters made me feel personable and took their time I definitely felt like I could have gotten an interview in person if the timing was right. Workday really does strive to be better in its process, because I've heard a lot of good things about the company that I don't hear much of anywhere else
