Test Automation Engineer Interview Experience - Pleasanton, California
Process
I applied for a position in Workday. However, the recruiter reached out to me for a different position that was much more technical and not really similar to what I had applied for.
In any case, I decided to give it a try and had a phone interview. The interviewer didn't ask anything from my resume or my background/prior projects but directly jumped into technical questions after asking me what my strongest programming language was.

There is nothing technically challenging in learning this tool. It doesn't add value to your resume or your technical skills. Soon you will forget all the stuff that you know once you get sucked up here. Not much growth for newcomers. HR works really hard and supports people to move to different teams or different roles, but the hiring managers are useless and don't respond. Comp is okay, even for top performers you get a 2% hike.

No career growth if you joined recently.
