Asked bunch of non-job related questions in HR interview. The technical interview was normal and straightforward. They also mentioned about a program to study abroad, giving options for the candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I considered myself privileged for being white man.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Coimbatore)
Interview
They held two rounds in Kochi, where I was one of the few candidates who got selected. Next round was scheduled at Coimbatore. I had to take a day's leave to attend the same. I was interviewed by the same set of thoughtworkers. I was excited about the interview process there. But, unfortunately it was a very boring experience and neither did I liked the entire process nor did I have anything to take back after getting sent off. That's right, I was sent back home after almost 3-4 rounds in Coimbatore. Throughout these rounds, I was not asked anything relevant to my role and I was constantly annoyed by the attitude of interviewers. There was a moment where two interviewers had an argument of sorts, related to my answer, one said I was right and the other felt it was wrong. They did provide me lunch, but frankly it was the most tiring and one of the least interesting interviews I ever had. I tend to believe this must be a one of off incident which happened in one of their locations.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
I had interview with girl which work in HR.
She said that only employ Thai people which is incredible discrimination and that is reason because can not go forward for interviews with me.
The one of worst interviews which had in life.
