I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Workday is a horrible company filled with very unprofessional employees. The company's moto is Employee first. Since a company is made by its employees, I would say the company itself is very unprofessional.
Firstly. the interview process was extensive with multiple technical rounds and rounds with the PM and VP of Engineering.
I did well with the interview and an offer was extended to me. I had initial conversation with the recruiter about the offer and then he said he will discuss further with the hiring managers about the numbers and will get back to me.
After this, I had to send 2 followup emails in gaps of 2-3 days to the recruiter asking for a response but the recruiter is very unprofessional and did not respond me back.
Then 1 day the recruiter emailed me very rudely saying that the hiring manager hired someone internally for the position.
Very Unprofessional behavior of the recruiter and the hiring manager for not being honest and clear with the candidate.
