Applied through LinkedIn. Received a mail from the HR. Filled a Google form and got my interview scheduled according to my availability. It was a smooth process. People are courteous.
Interview questions [12]
Question 1
Round 1: Selenium and Automation with Problem Solving - Telephonic - Phone interview with Hangout Screen Sharing.
1. About yourself
6. Coding Questions
Asked to screenshare in the hangouts, and asked to open the eclipse, gave two problems to solve.
1. Check when multiplying a 6 digit number with 2 gives a number which has all the same numbers.
E.g: 142857 x 2 = 285714
Done with the first round. Expressed my interest in Jenkins and the automation tool I've built apart from the interview interaction. The interviewer was really good and ended the conversation telling, I'll get a call from the HR. Got the call for the onsite rounds within 30 mins.
This is an easy round but how much ever you prepare, you'll definitely fall short of something, so prepare extremely hard. You'll never know, where you'll slip and where you'll lose the balance while coming up with the test strategy and test plan.
To crack this round, do not assume anything (It's human tendency to assume things while talking about familiar apps. So avoid it).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Bengaluru) in Jan 2025
Interview
I interviewed for the role of QA Analyst - Senior Consultant at ThoughtWorks. The interview process was quite extensive, consisting of five rounds. The first three rounds were technical, focusing on automation and functional aspects. You can expect straightforward LeetCode-style coding questions, as well as an in-depth assessment of your coding concepts and knowledge. Additionally, your functional and non-functional testing skills will be evaluated, along with your understanding of system architecture and your ability to create test strategies as a Senior QA.
The remaining two rounds were non-technical, focusing on leadership and culture. These rounds assessed your leadership qualities, cultural fit, and your ability to make a positive impact. Overall, it was a enjoyable experience. The interviewers were very supportive and helpful, providing guidance whenever I felt stuck or hesitant.
