I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Barcelona) in Apr 2017
Interview
Worst interview experience ever. They moved 6 times my first interview, with no reason. In particular, 2 times with no advise, and one time I waited all day long for the recruiter availability, receiving several emails of lies and no apologies. At the end, I was not able to continue with the second interview cause "I have no knowledge about Agile methodologies". It was not written in the job offer, and when she asked during the interview if I had knowledge about it, I answered no and she said that "it wasn't a problem".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about social justice, previous studies and experiences and why I want to move to Barcelona.
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.
