You have the offer already. Enjoy your interviews! Maybe choose a couple more from this list.
Yes i just felt a bit burn out lately and got better after there is an offer. Yes I think I will continue with two of them and enjoy the interviews there.
Workday has great culture and people. You won’t regret working there. They are lower on the compensation (compared to FAANG tier) but a solid company.
Yes in the the interviews I had the people are awesome and engineering culture looks very promising. Compensation wise I already had a spike in TC if I accepted the offer, so I am good for my new TC.
All look and sound good until after your honeymoon period and read their channel in Blind. Think thrice before signing. Make sure you read horror stories on Glassdoor too. Feel sorry to those who got fooled to join sickday. 🥲
How did u prepare for these interviews?
I mainly work on leetcode and regularly joining the leetcode contests (to feel the pressure around timing). Architecture design i study grokking system design from educative.io. In most of my coding interviews I tried to give my thought process and code out loud. Some companies require you to solve the problems at the end but some are more in your communication. It really depends.
Thanks. This helps
You should give other interviews and then make a call
I have workday SDET III interview coming up. What does III mean? How to understand Workday levels
Did they mention annual cash bonus of 10% ? I just signed an offer for workday
Sorry to hear you decided to join. I have known many people who quit within their first few months. Sign up for Blind as soon as you are able so you can read the real scoops. Keep in touch with other recruiters and get ready to run 🏃♀️ after experiencing how terrible this company really is!
Wow you scare me. Ive heard only good things about the Pleasanton campus. Also Ive heard that Product Managers are on equal footing as Software Engineers so theres alot of influurne and impact that can be made my PM. Could that be the source of dissent, given engineers are revered in many SV tech companies? The xpresso cafe, unlimited pto, 15% stock discount, cafetaria and most importantly, 10 minute commute (ve 90 minute) are extra perks. Are you in the Pleasanton campus?
How was ur interview, did you answer all coding.
I didn’t solve all problems with optimal solution. One of solution I gave is suboptimal and interviewer was ok with it.
Hey Canada folks here, I would say take the offer. I am enjoying every minute here at Workday.
Sounds good my interview is coming
Where in Canada are you getting this TC ?

If you aren’t excited about the other companies then take the offer. I’d actually take the offer regardless. You can still choose to interview after accepting
I think I will take the offer and continue with two onsite in the list. There are two of them that look very promising. Anyway thank you for suggestion.
