Sent off my CV and a cover letter, and a phone interview was then arranged for the next week. During the interview I was asked about why I wanted to work for ThoughtWorks, what I did to keep myself up-to-date with technology, and how important I thought it was for companies to do work that had a social impact.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I found it difficult to expand on why it was important for companies to do work that has a social impact. As other reviewers have mentioned, I think they're looking for people who are genuinely passionate about solving inequalities and helping people. I found it hard to talk about without sounding cliched and insincere, so perhaps I'm not who they're looking for.
1. Recruiter screening with HR, pretty standard questions and went through what to expect. If you clear the screening, you will receive feedback that they will like to bring you the be interviewed for the technical interview
2. Pair programming with a senior developer. Brief introduction and straight to the take home assessment.
This was out of cycle as a candidate dropped the offer.
