I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks in Mar 2025
Interview
My best interview experience was with ThoughtWorks. The recruiter was very supportive and helped with each step of the process.
1. First, there was a code pairing round. A Spring Boot codebase was shared 2-3 days prior to the interview, and during the interview, I was asked to implement a new feature. The interviewer will check your thought process and coding standards. Make sure to reuse existing codes and add or modify unit tests accordingly.
2. The second round was regarding architectural discussion; I was asked to explain any project architecture in which I have worked. They will dig deeper into why certain architecture was used, the choice of DB, programming language, cloud service, everything will be questioned. They might check your understanding of alternative techs as well. This round can be a little tricky for anyone coming from service-based companies, as you won't have exposure to all the whys.
3. The third and fourth rounds were more about leadership and collaboration skills. You should have some leadership exposure and working with diverse teams to clear these rounds, else they will cross-question question which will be difficult to answer unless you have real-life exposures.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement a feature in the existing codebase.

Real-life example of leadership role: how will you handle a situation if a senior or client do not agree with you, etc.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Singapore) in May 2026
Interview
The recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn to ask whether interested in the above role. So, I decided to give it a try.
The interviewers were professional and the interviews went well.
It consists of multiple rounds including- 1. Recruiter screen 2. Code pairing interview 3. Technical interview 4. Cultural fit and leadership interview.
After I been through final round interview I was rejected although they claimed I did well in final round.
The feedback given was because the company felt my experiences did not align with their current project needs.
What was disappointing is that this should have been identified during the initial screening stage, as my background was clearly stated in my resume and also during the recruiter screening.
Progressing a candidate through multiple interview rounds, including the final interview, only to reject them for an apparent experience mismatch feels like a waste of the candidate’s time.
The recruitment process was also poorly handled. I only received the update for each interview session after I followed up for a status update, rather than being proactively informed.
Overall, I would not recommend the interview process due to the inefficient screening and communication.
Do not waste your time as I feel they are using candidates to collect certain data or doing market surveys through these processes.
