Thoughtworks Application Developer interview questions

Great interview experience. The first round was code pairing round where we needed to solve a given problem statement. Second round was a technical discussion based on past projects. The third round was leadership and social changes round where the interview would judge our personality.

*1st Round* : Hackerearth online test (12 December2020) 90 mins for 2 questions (It was more than enough) *2nd Round* : Coding and Pairing (23 December 2020) 2 hrs for creating a board house game (using the OOPS concept and design principles) and around 1.15 hr of discussion and pairing the top priority was given to the use of oops concept in the project while the least priority was given to accurate output. *3rd Round* : Technical Round (conceptual and mainly focussed on designing problems) questions included: 1) explain full architecture of your current project on draw io. 2) what if there is sudden increase in database size. 3) how you would reduce the latency of apis 4) What policy would you use in caching for filling and removing elements 5) Implement caching with CORE JAVA 6) Optimise Least Recently Used (LRU) implementation time complexity 7) how to customise hashmap to return random value with equal probability There were some more questions but only these I remember *4th Round* : Social Change Interview This round is concerned on social topics like Equality, LGBTQ, Discrimination, Feminism, Typical Indian mentality. I was asked situational questions to open up my mentality towards women. also had a discussion on what problems women face in India, how to overcome those problems, farmers protest, what can be done as a resolution. Key here is to at least have an opinion and be strong on it. Now if you do have an opinion then you better be sure that it *doesn't* in anyway support patriarchy. And also don't lie. They will twist you until they validate your opinion. *5th Round* : Leadership Round This round was supposed to have questions around leadership but since I was having only 3 yrs of experience, I was asked about what motivates me, what I seek in people in workplace and what are the things I get annoyed with etc. HR Discussion regarding offer. All and all, It was a great experience and I found it a well designed interview process. which is more on the concept side instead of being language specific.
