Be wary of what is advertised on the surface with Workday Boulder job opportunities. I, naively, had the impression they were practically handing jobs out to capable people, but I came out empty-handed with a crushed spirit.

I had a few phone screens, and each of the interviewers were several minutes late. The recruiter described the process entirely wrong (such as the onsite being an all-day affair vs. only 4 hours). I went through the entire process expecting to be able to flex my work schedule but ultimately had to take the entire day off when it was scheduled.

Sadly, I came out empty-handed, even though I thought I did quite well (and this is coming from a pessimist). What sounded like a hiring frenzy turned out to be only a single job opening, which already had overqualified people lined up and interviewed before I arrived.

This was a waste of my time, my energy, and sadly, a whole day of PTO that I will never get back.
