I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Hyderabad) in Jul 2016
Interview
It was tough. There was 1 coding, 2 technical, 1 managerial and 1 P3 round( in which you have to discuss about the 3rd pillar of thoughworks- Socio economic justice). Questions were not easy- ranged from medium to tough. In the second technical round, they asked extremely project specific questions, which you can answer only if you have worked on that particular technology in an actual project.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Coding : I was asked to write a code to display the words of a sentence in alphabetical order.
Ex: Input: Hi How Are You
Output: Are Hi How You
2. Technical Interview: General Testing Interview Questions, real life Scenarios to test.
--Difference between Verification and Validation.
--Difference between severity, priority
--Difference between sanity and regression testing
--Difference between Stress and Load testing
--Automate a scenario using selenium ( write the script)
-- How will you test a vending machine (All kinds of test cases, and also the types of testing you can apply)
-- Test a website ( the webservice/API)
-- Puzzle 1: there are 2 containers 3L and 5L capacity. You can use as much water as you want.How will you get 4 L water using the 2 containers.
--Puzzle 2: there are 8 identical balls, out of them one is overweight. In how many minimum passes( using a weight machine) can you find out the overweight ball?
3. Technical Interview: Very very detailed questions about how you did automation in your previous project and what exactly you did everyday during your previous work. ( Can only be answered if you have actually done automation in the project, basically I think they want to check whether you have actually got hands on experience or have faked it in your resume.)
--How to test an automatic door in a mall
--Puzzle 1: there are 8 identical balls, out of them one is overweight or underweight ( you dont know which). In how many minimum passes( using a weight machine) can you find out the defective ball?
