Thoughtworks Software Developer interview questions

1. Code Pairing Round Focused on TDD, maintainability, and reusability. Required writing tests first and structuring code for clarity. Evaluated problem-solving, refactoring, and collaboration. 2. Technical Discussion Round Deep dive into your project and decision-making. Asked language-specific questions like WSGI vs. ASGI. Assessed system design, trade-offs, and optimization. 3. Cultural Fit Round Focused on teamwork, adaptability, and values alignment. Included behavioral questions based on real-world scenarios. Evaluated communication skills and collaboration mindset.

I've applied twice for a similar role in the past year or so. The first time it was structured as follows: - an HR discussion (casual, very open-ended which is appreciated) - a live coding session (more of a pair programming exercise with the interviewer) - a 'company values alignment' discussion (think Google's 'Googleyness' interview phase) After passing the last stage of the interview, they said they'd get back to me. However, what ended up happening is the target project had chosen another candidate and due to company restructuring (mind you, this was not mentioned to me prior at all), they were not allowed to forward an offer at the time. Second time around, it started with the recruiter not even joining the initial HR discussion. I can only speak from my experience, but I'd exercise caution due to the shown lack of professionalism across multiple occasions.
