I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chicago, IL) in May 2017
Interview
Applied through a Recruiter. Process was very slow. Took 2 months total, often with a week or two with no follow up, feedback. The Agency I worked through were nice and professional, but I got the impression the delays were on the TW's end. Even though I'm local, they had me do 2 phone interviews before being invited in. When I was invited in, the interview started with the interviewer criticizing another employer and the way they treat their employees.
I heard a lot of disturbing things about this company as I researched. For the job I was applying for, there were 4 people in the role in the previous 2 years. That speaks volumes. Also, every indication was the company shares some fairly radical views on politics and I saw a lot of evidence of this, including here in Glassdoor (inappropriate questions, even one asking directly "what political party do you support?".
The company seems elitist and doesn't have the role I applied for structured properly at all. They seem more concerned about every single person agreeing with the approach of the new hire and gaining consensus on every thing they'll do which is just not realistic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you get everyone involved to agree with your approach?
The process was thorough with several stages including both standard interviews and some online testing. The interviewers were professional and warm and I had a positive experience during the process.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks
Interview
Had the interview last year (2022). Phone screening and first two interviews were great (with reporting manager and the APAC team). Final interview with the MD didn't go so well. MD had this stuck-up air around him the whole time and didn't seem interested in your answers or talking to you. Advice - We all start somewhere, and you were a junior level employee once before. No matter your level, as a person, give the other party the respect they deserve. Questions were asked based on random card selection, which I thought was a fresh and new idea, but the questions asked were honestly not going to translate into your working abilities or capabilities. I was ultimately rejected, but had shortly secured a job right after their rejection, so I guess it didn't work out for a reason.

I really admire Thoughtworks's Social Change interview. it really change the perception how you to look at the world, every company should conduct. They really focus on what a candidate thinks and perceive about the social causes. & considering those beautiful Minds that's how thoughtworks build their culture
