How the interviewer perceives your personality during and after the interview can make a difference in getting the job. They are looking for a candidate who will complement their culture and build strong relationships with their teams. As they state on their site, "We put fun, innovation, and integrity at the center of everything we do. Experience life at a company with soul." Also, three of their core values are Employees, Integrity, and fun. "Most fundamentally, people are the core of our business. Without them, we would not have a business. We hire the best and expect great accomplishments. We say what we mean, and mean what we say. We stick to our commitments, treat everyone equitably, and communicate openly and honestly. We also feel it's important to have a sense of humor. We like to laugh--it makes our work that much more enjoyable. We also invest in community and company events that help our employees and their families feel a connection to Workday beyond business as usual."

"I'd say one of my defining characteristics is my positive attitude and sense of humor. I'm always quick to laugh and am pretty happy-go-lucky. I also genuinely care about others and build solid relationships wherever I go. I am a people person, and people naturally gravitate toward me. I'm honest and transparent, and when I say I will do something, I do it fast and with a smile."
