Thoughtworks Graduate Software Developer interview questions

The process is long and requires candidates to complete a technical test. Upon successful completion and the approval of a developer within the company, you are put through an assessment centre which comprises of IQ testing, presentations and a code review.

I applied to this company twice. The first time, I applied it online between Jan and Feb 2013. I got an email a week before the Careers Fair said that I was rejected because I did not have enough skills. I sent back Thank You email and did not ask specific reason why I got rejected because I knew at the time TW would be attending the Careers Fair the following week. I came there and talked to one of them (incidentally the same guy who rejected me on my first application). I introduced myself to him and asked him why I got rejected. He expected me to write why I want to work at TW on my cover letter. He also asked me to send him another cover letter straight forward to his email instead of going through the online application. After I sent him my cover letter, the next morning he sent me code assessment with 3 problems. I chose the easiest one, Sales Taxes, because I wanted to try TDD (at the time I only learnt TDD for 2 weeks only). It took me 3 days to finish it. About 3 weeks ago, I got another email from him again about phone interview. I managed to pass this round last week. During this interview, he only focused about what do I know about TW. He started the question, "How do you find TW?". I mentioned about the 3 pillars and elaborate them more. This week, I have to do the Wonderlic test and Logic test. I still do not know whether I am going to pass those 2 tests or not.
