Process

Overall, it was a comprehensive and positive experience. The interview process included:

  • A technical interview
  • A few pseudo-technical interviews
  • A lot of behavioral interviews

The technical interview shouldn't be too difficult if you know how to design classes, basic object-oriented programming, and UML. However, it can get tricky; I was really stumped on one part.

Of the 6-7 interviewers, a few seemed either overly serious or condescending. Some didn't even come prepared; they just wanted you to ask them questions. I guess that's fine.

Questions

Design a Google Docs file sharing system using UML. You will have to use an enumeration class.

Also, "tell me about yourself" and "why Workday," and a lot of questions about object-oriented concepts, like interfaces and abstract classes, and when to use them.

Additionally, some tricky but basic programming problems: how to reverse a string, etc.
