As a candidate for a company that builds HCM software, I was very unimpressed by my experience.

I was referred to the hiring manager, who then had me go through a recruiter for the first steps (i.e., phone screen, scheduling the interview, etc.). Without notice, the recruiter called me after 6 p.m. and started giving me a technical interview about OO. This was not to schedule my interview with the hiring manager, which is what I thought the call was for and why I picked up. The call threw me off guard because I was in a Lyft and had not been notified that I'd be having a technical interview so late in the day.

Due to my being distracted and a horrible connection, the recruiter told the hiring manager that she was unimpressed by my performance during the technical test but did not let him know the circumstances.

To make matters worse, she almost sabotaged my first round with the hiring manager because she didn't give me the interview time until the morning of the interview. She also failed to inform me that we'd be using a web portal for audio and the technical test, which caused me to be five minutes late for the call. Thankfully, the hiring manager was super understanding and called my cell.

When I came in for my final round, I had a great time meeting all of my interviewers. However, I was not pleased with the energy I received during my hour-long technical interview in UML. The interviewers were not as helpful or nice as described by others on Glassdoor; it almost felt like because they were young, they were being harder on me for kicks.

Since this was my third technical interview with Workday (one in March 2016, another earlier in September 2016), I thought I had done pretty well, so I waited to hear back.

After three weeks of waiting and no word, I reached out to the recruiter. She notified me that I had been rejected due to my performance during the technical interview and that she had emailed me a while back with a formal rejection letter. I could not find the letter anywhere, not even in junk/spam, and asked her to forward the original. Without my following up, I would have been waiting to hear back indefinitely. She wouldn't provide it to me.

She tried calling me, but since she wouldn't admit to never sending me a rejection letter in the first place, I told her we had nothing further to discuss. Now, she's trying to bother my friend at Workday who referred me.
