I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Quito) in Jan 2021
Interview
Almost two months!
These guys sent me an email to set an interview, this was the beginning of a series of steps. 5 in total. All of them via zoom.
1. Recuiter interview
2. Hackerrank exam
3. Technical exam
4. A presentation about a topic
5. Cultural interview
These guys took ages to reply, and after I "successfully" made it through the process these guys have the nerve to take almost 2 weeks to reply and to tell me that they'd like me to apply again in 6 months -probably- because they had already hired someone else.
I'm sorry, this was a dream company for me but after this, wow, super disappointed, these people have no consideration at all. At least be honest and quick with your responses. Idk if all of this bs is part of some kind of test to see if we can handle but I honestly think it's disrespectful. Thanks for nothing ThoughtWorks.

It began with a short chat with HR, before a technical interview. I then gave a presentation about when I worked in a team, and had a chat with two employees about ethics.

I applied online. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Londra, Inghilterra) in Feb 2020
Interview
I was first contacted by the recruiter and had a short interview over the phone. I was then asked to complete a coding challenge and after that I was invited for in person interview. This was the weirdest interview I ever had. I got information that it would be a 3 stage interview: paired programming, social & justice part and I was asked to make a presentation about working in a team. First of all, the recruiter I spoke to before wasn't there on the day and I was greeted by someone else who disappeared after the first interview and no one knew what to do with me. The paired programming was very stressful and the developers were very unprofessional, didn't understand my questions, they were distracted, laughing, throwing papers from the desk to the bin and making inappropriate jokes. The social and justice part was not what I was told, I was supposed to be prepared to talk about a current issue of my choice but it was just a bunch of random competency-based questions on iPad. The last part which was a presentation was alright, but the people watching it had no idea what the presentation was about as they were not developers. It was weird because I met 7 different people on that day and there was no one I could actually ask about the role, what would it look like etc (when I asked the developers and said that I'm not applying for their position so how would they know).
