I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Thoughtworks in Jul 2015
Interview
There were several rounds I had to go through:
- An initial Skype interview with a couple of experience designers. The questions focused on which areas in the design spectrum I had experience with as well as why I was interested in working at ThoughtWorks. They also had a look at my website and asked me to take them through a few of the projects I had worked on.
- A coding test. As I understand it, this is not given to all XDs, only those who claim experience in dev. It was very easy, just testing knowledge of HTML and CSS for prototyping.
- A cultural interview. In this one, the interviewers were trying to access whether I was a good fit for ThoughtWorks from a values/general attitude point of view.
- A Wonderlic test.
- An XD interview where I was given several design challenges. I would say this one was the most difficult as it really puts you on the spot, but at the end of the day they are trying to see your thought process and making sure you don't jump into rushed conclusions.
- A visual design challenge where I had to do a redesign of an app ThoughtWorks had previously created.
- A management interview with a member of the leadership team.

First I sent my resume, then scheduled a videocall with HR (upfront asked what’s the salary expectation), got scheduled a video call with the leader. Seemed like an informal comfortable conversation.

Por mais que o processo de recrutamento seja longo, senti que consideraram vários aspectos meus como profissional e pessoa na admissão. Gostei de ter feito entrevistas com pessoas PCD e lideranças nesse processo.
