Interviewed Apr 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 4 months)

After I applied online from their website, I didn't get any calls. After I called HR, it took a month for them to send me an email with a questionnaire. The questionnaire included different questions that test your creativity and values.Once I finished the questionnaire I received a email with a programming task including 3 problems. Once I completed a problem, and I sent it back I got a call from my recruiter and we had a long conversation about the company and my expectations. After this interview, I had a interview in their office in Chicago. During this interview, I took a wonderlic exam, logic exam, one values interview, pair programming interview, technical interview, and a group activity.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took a day)

Went to Thoughtwork's assessment day after talking with them at a job fair. The day consisted of a tour of their office and general overview of the company/position. There were about 15 or so other people all going through this phase at the same time. Everyone there was very nice, and I felt that they did a good job of making the company look like a good place to work. After the tour, there was an short IQ test and longer logic test given. Later, they sent me a coding assignment to complete, but by then I had already accepted a different offer, so I didn't go any further with the hiring process.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)

It was a group interview, they told us about their company and interest etc. We were then given a test, 50 questions in 12 minutes. After that, we were presented with another logic test which consist of following the flow of a flowchart. it was that difficult but it takes some getting used to. Waiting to see if I get a call or not. Thanks
