I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Mumbai) in Jul 2019
Interview
Countless interviews with multiple panels or single interviewer. Everytime I cleared a round, I was told that I need to sit for another round that they will schedule on another day. Post clearing 3 or 4 rounds successfully I was supposed to go through another couple of rounds and it was very irritating. You can't be on top of your game everyday with everybody. The whole process took nearly more than a month. This was last year so I don't remember all the details although I distinctly remember that majority of the panel members were younger than me and had no experience or knowledge of what to question let alone knowing the answer. Very hectic process and makes the company look highly unprofessional.

Hypothetical case study based on unrealistic scenarios with no decisive or objective information
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I’m sorry it wasn’t a more positive one for you. We’re a consensus-driven culture in a lot of matters, especially hiring, and it can lead to lengthier processes. We've been rolling out some pretty significant changes to our interview process and we're tracking closely to make sure candidates have a better experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2018
Interview
I had interviewed for a Senior Business Analyst role however ended up being hired as a Lead Consultant. The interview process consisted of the following:
- Initial phone interview with a recruiter
- Second phone interview with a senior member of the product leadership team
- Completing an online Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment
- On site interviews at the Chicago office consisting of:
> Technical BA interview (product thinking, agile understanding, analytical skills, etc.)
> Non-technical interview (core consulting skills, team dynamics, discussing a social/economic justice topic) -involved answering questions selected from a deck of question cards
> Lunch break within the office
> BA workshop (analysis and synthesis, flexibility and adaptability, facilitation) -involved a fictitious client scenario in which you had to identify the current as-is system scenario & paint points and draw this out using business process modeling while also interacting with fictitious client individuals to elicit requirements and feedback on a proposed solution
- Final phone discussion with a Delivery Principal (this was less of an interview and more of a final opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may with the firm, your role, etc.)
Although the interview process was long and challenging everything was done in a timely and organized manner. I've had a lot of bad interview experiences involving incredibly long delays, lack of structure, and individuals who have zero interest in conducting good interviews but the HR team at ThoughtWorks did a fantastic job. I had also been dealing with a very supportive HR individual throughout the interview process. The in person interviews will also be different in many ways compared to most companies but remain confident, determined, and just be yourself throughout the experience.
