I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2013
Interview
It was very long. A long questionnaire with some pretty fun questions, a technical coding challenge that you could work on for a few days before submitting, a day long onsite interview with 3 parts: pairing session, technical assessment and a fit interview. I also had to take a logic test, and some other evaluation. It was a lot of work, but I felt like out of all the interviews I did this one was assessing my ability to do the job I was hired to do the most. I felt like it works to see how capable I am of working with a pair, explaining technical concepts and even my presentation style.
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.
