General Discussion about the Working Culture and the Candidate Experience, Challenges.
About design decisions that were made in the previous projects and Solutions offered or addressed. Expectations from each other.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Thoughtworks in Aug 2014
Interview
First level interview was telephonic and engaging and the interviewer was leading the discussion very constructively. However the second level F2F interview was led by a Business Analyst and Project Manager who were not willing to understand the capability the candidate had rather focussing on micro level details which is very company specific. Hailing from a background of Programme / Delivery Management , the interview process felt very ineffecient.
The case study was interesting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why have you brought a single pager resume. I found this very disrespectful and shocking.
Sent off my CV and a cover letter, and a phone interview was then arranged for the next week. During the interview I was asked about why I wanted to work for ThoughtWorks, what I did to keep myself up-to-date with technology, and how important I thought it was for companies to do work that had a social impact.

Question 1
I found it difficult to expand on why it was important for companies to do work that has a social impact. As other reviewers have mentioned, I think they're looking for people who are genuinely passionate about solving inequalities and helping people. I found it hard to talk about without sounding cliched and insincere, so perhaps I'm not who they're looking for.
