Software Engineer Interview Experience - Pleasanton, California
Process
I spoke with a recruiter at a college career fair and landed an on-campus interview the next day. That interview went well and consisted mainly of behavioral questions, with a little Java conceptual stuff near the end. They then flew me up to the Workday Campus, where I had two technical interviews and two behavioral interviews.
