1 phone interview and 5 onsite ones(through zoom). For the onsite, all interviewers are of one single race which I found it ironic when the manager asked me about the importance of diversity. Is that a joke? The interview questions are reasonable except one which is Leetcode hard and it is Dynamic Programming. I did not expect hard questions to appear in Workday Interviews and I have not practiced Leetcode enough recently to handle hard-level questions. So without doubt, I failed the question. For that interviewer, I was able to see the question he asked for the previous candidate because he is my first interviewer. He did not close the window before I join. I was waiting in the lobby when he was interviewing the previous candidate. It was an extremely easy leetcode question. I do not understand on what basis there is such a level of difference in the interview difficulty for the same interviewer. I doubt it is because of race. Is he trying to only accept candidates with a different race which can get offers from Facebook or Google so that the candidate will probably not join Workday, while giving an easy time for candidates of the same race? Well, that explains why the team is so racially homogenous.

The 1st round was with the Hiring Manager. Unlike many companies, Workday handled this differently — it was more of a casual discussion focused on behavior, past experience, and overall fit rather than a strict technical screening. The 2nd round focused on the AI projects I worked on. The discussion included topics like handling context overload, modal judgment, and practical challenges faced while building AI-driven solutions. The 3rd round was a coding and technical design round where problem-solving, system thinking, and implementation approaches were evaluated. The final round was a job-critical discussion focused mainly on RAG pipelines, LangChain, and related AI architecture concepts.
