I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I applied through Linkedin and the talent scout recruiter got back to me within a week. I was given a coding test where I had the choice between three problems. I chose the directed graphs problem and turned it in a week later. I was also given a questionnaire and thought the questions on it were a bit weird. I was then pushed to a video conference interview with the recruiter. She asked me questions about the coding assignment. She also asked a lot of different types of questions regarding social justice, etc.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chennai) in Mar 2022
Interview
First round was code pairing. Had nice experience and the interviewer was so friendly. Second round was technical interview. The expectations were high and need to have in depth understanding to crack it
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (New York, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
1. InfoSession
- a video call with many other potential candidates and two recruiters to answer questions.
2. Questionnaire
- around 3 page questionnaire to test culture fit
3. Coding Exercise
- simple coding exercise in Java (get two options to select from)
4. Video Interview
- video call interview with recruiter, < 30 min
Only made it to round 4 (video interview). I was very interested in the AC program and thought the company was great. But through the recruiting process, had a negative perception of the company's operations and HR team. They were quite unorganized in that they did not do what they promised, in the timeline they described. For example, I had to reach out for them to send me the questionnaire, twice. They also cut off communication for 6 weeks after the video interview despite saying they had a 1 week turnaround and me having sent them two followup emails. Overall, an unorganized and unprofessional process.
