I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Londen, Engeland)
Interview
Interviewed a few years ago so process has changed now - not sure to what extent though.
1. Application on TW site with my CV.
2. Phone interview with graduate recruiter to discuss why TW, my experience, how I felt about travel. Was told I would be sent a take home task to do and if that was fine, I would be invited to the onsite interview day.
3. Take home tech task - all grads are given the Mars Rover tech task.
4. Onsite interviews:
- Logic paper test (I believe this has been scrapped now)
- Wonderlic test (I believe this has also been scrapped now)
- 30 min Presentation about any topic (15m presenting and 15m Q&A)
- Pair programming interview with two TW developers where you discuss your tech task submission and continue it with extension tasks.
- Social justice interview: you are told to read up on something recent in the news and discuss it. Also general discussion about other social justice topics.
1. Recruiter screening with HR, pretty standard questions and went through what to expect. If you clear the screening, you will receive feedback that they will like to bring you the be interviewed for the technical interview
2. Pair programming with a senior developer. Brief introduction and straight to the take home assessment.
This was out of cycle as a candidate dropped the offer.
2024 interview process
