Went well overall four rounds starting with Hacker rank test, Code pairing, Technical and Cultural alignment interview. Majorly focused on Oops and DSA. Java and Python are added plus, overall good experience with good interviewers
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chennai) in Oct 2020
Interview
I got a call from the recruiter to discuss about my current tech stack, my ways of working and my interest in going ahead with an interview process with Thoughtworks. I then had 5 rounds of interview, 3 tech and 2 non-tech before being extended an offer for Application Developer.
Round 1 - Pair Programming round - A problem statement is given and we are asked to design a solution for it. You can use any programming language of your choice.
Round 2 - Tech Interview 1 - Tested on OOP concepts, Class design, Database design and Data structure puzzle
Round 3 - Tech Interview 2 - Technical Depth and Breadth - Tested in and out on my resume. Whatever I had mentioned in resume was asked in depth to get an idea on how good I say I am with what I had worked on. It was more of a discussion than interview.
Round 4 - Leadership round - Here, they try to understand how adaptable you are to their work culture. They asked situational questions to gauge an understanding of how you would react to certain situations.
Round 5 - Social Change Interview - This interview was focussed towards the Social and Economic Justice that Thoughtworks maintains as its core principle. This was a general discussion around women in workplace, discrimination, equality vs equity, Reservation and other relevant topics.
Across all of these rounds, it was so much fun. Although I was tensed before each round, I was made comfortable by some ice breaker questions and it went smoothly thereafter. The questions were challenging, especially tech round 1 but it was a great experience. All the interviewers were friendly and punctual as they came ON TIME for the virtual rounds. Very good yet thorough interview process.
