Signing a non-disclosure agreement is quite common in the software and technology industry. If hired, you will probably become privy to trade secrets, pending patents, and other innovative projects that must remain confidential.
Workday's Code of Conduct states, "We are committed to handling all confidential and proprietary information with great care and in compliance with applicable laws. Workmates routinely learn information that is confidential and/or proprietary to Workday, our customers, our suppliers, and/or our partners. The confidential and proprietary information with which you are entrusted is extremely important to Workday and to others. You are expected to keep all confidential and proprietary information 'under wraps' unless and until that information is released to the public through approved processes. This means that you may not discuss confidential or proprietary information with others, including family, friends, and even other Workmates, unless those fellow Workmates have a legitimate business need to know the information. You should also take great care not to disclose confidential or proprietary information inadvertently."

If you sign your NDA before your interview, you must adhere to the terms and keep any information you are given confidential for the life of the agreement. Even if you leak information accidentally, you will still be legally liable. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to sign an agreement. If you are currently under non-disclosure agreements or a non-compete agreement with your present employer, now is the time to discuss that as well.

"I would gladly sign any such document. But you don't need me to sign stuff for me to stand by my word. I value integrity and always stand by my word and my commitments. But I would gladly adhere to any such policy. Give me a pen, and I'll sign on the dotted line."
