I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2016
Interview
The interview had several stages:
1- Phone call with HR. I was asked about my professional background, qualifications, relevant experience, and the reasons I chose to apply for Workday;
2- Skype call with a US-based hiring manager. I was asked for more in-depth information about my relevant experience, as well as theoretical and practical aspects of the job (what software I use, what's my approach, had I worked as part of a SCRUM team before, etc.)
3- On-site interview. I had a total of 7 interviews in succession - 2 face-to-face interviews, following with 5 video calls with various people in the States.
Everyone I interviewed with was friendly, helpful, and very open about providing information concerning the position and the company in their turn. One of the best interviewing experiences I've had so far.
A few days later, HR called again with an offer, and I accepted on the spot.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Have you ever had to deal with a difficult person, and if so, how did you handle the situation?
There was a screening round with a recruiter, a round with a manager, an assessment, and panel interviews with senior technical writers and technical writing managers. I would rank this interview process as “difficult” just because it’s through and included several rounds. But, the recruiter was excellent about staying in touch and the process was very smooth despite multiple steps. It was all very efficient and wrapped up in about a month.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Workday in Jul 2023
Interview
After the entire interview process, management decided that the job couldn't be done in my location after all. Offered to let me relocate to another state with no assistance and four weeks notice, even though there's an office miles from my home.
