I applied online. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Estugarda)
Interview
After sending my resume, I got an e-mail saying that they'd like to have a first interview with me. It was a talk with a recruiter. The recruiter appeared 10 minutes late to the interview then he asked a lot of questions. He mentioned that I was probably going to be disqualified for the process because I don't speak fluent German but that he would check with his superior and let me know. I replied that if it would have been shown in the job description, I wouldn't have applied since I know I don't meet this requirement. Some days after, I got a generic e-mail saying that I was rejected because they felt my experience wasn't a good match. I was expecting a 1-1 response from the recruiter about the German requirement like he agreed in the interview but instead I was disappointed by a generic e-mail. To be honest, it felt like a complete waste of my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Thoughtworks?
Why do you want to move to Germany?
Almost at the end of the interview he asked: can you please introduce yourself?
How much your currently salary is?
How much is your desired salary?
You have the possibility to ask questions at the end.
Invited for an HR screening only to be immediately rejected for not having enough YOE. If this was a hard requirement why even schedule a call in the first place? A complete waste of time for both parties.
The interview consists of two rounds and takes about a month. It mainly asks about the understanding of the business and the ability to cooperate with others, and also includes some assessment of personal technical abilities
I was referred into Thoughtworks Bengaluru. After a basic HR screen, a PM grilled me on BA-style scenarios. After that, I prepped a two-day case study to roleplay a consultant.
