I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2011
Interview
On the day of the face-to-face interviews, I first did a basic skills/intelligence test with both verbal and math items. The test is timed to 12 minutes. (I believe the consultants need to take a much longer version.) Speed and accuracy are both important, but I do not believe one must complete all the items - I did not and was told I passed.
I had three sets of interviews with two people each:
1) peers (employees on the same level as the position in related areas of the company)
2) internal customers (the ThoughtWorks consultants)
3) senior leaders
Not everyone seemed equipped with interviewing skills, and many hypothetical questions were asked. This was challenging at times as I was not provided with a rich context of the role I would be in (aside from the job description), and thus, had difficulties in articulating "what I would do" in a way that sufficiently aligned with the role. There was also some red flags in terms of poor coordination and mix-ups about timing on their end.
Was not selected for the position.
The process was thorough with several stages including both standard interviews and some online testing. The interviewers were professional and warm and I had a positive experience during the process.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks
Interview
Had the interview last year (2022). Phone screening and first two interviews were great (with reporting manager and the APAC team). Final interview with the MD didn't go so well. MD had this stuck-up air around him the whole time and didn't seem interested in your answers or talking to you. Advice - We all start somewhere, and you were a junior level employee once before. No matter your level, as a person, give the other party the respect they deserve. Questions were asked based on random card selection, which I thought was a fresh and new idea, but the questions asked were honestly not going to translate into your working abilities or capabilities. I was ultimately rejected, but had shortly secured a job right after their rejection, so I guess it didn't work out for a reason.

Question 1
Something that didn't have to do with your work abilities, capabilities, or relevant situational question.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Pune) in June 2022
Interview
I really admire Thoughtworks's Social Change interview. it really change the perception how you to look at the world, every company should conduct. They really focus on what a candidate thinks and perceive about the social causes. & considering those beautiful Minds that's how thoughtworks build their culture
