Interview
It wan an on-campus recruitment held virtually. The recruitment process had 4 rounds.
First round was pretty easy. It was conducted on Hackerrank platform where they asked 9 Questions from CS Fundamentals (majorly OOPs), 4 Code Evaluation and 3 Coding Questions (Easy level questions from Arrays and Strings). Out of 570 people applied, around 60 got selected for the next round.
Code Pairing was the second round which took place on Zoom. A person working in Thoughtworks joined and the question for the round was sent 5 minutes prior to the scheduled time. I was asked to share the screen for the next 1.5 hrs. It was a low level design question (Advertising Agency) where they will be giving all the necessary data and desired output. We were asked to write code in any OOPs language, incorporating all the OOPs concepts. They expected us to write scalable code, such that even if there are any modifications in the Structure of data there should be only minimal changes in code. The person monitoring might ask several questions about our code and will also give some suggestions. By the end of this round, 27 got selected out of 60 for the next round.
Next round was a Technical Interview which took place for another 1.5 hrs. 2 interviewers were present. They asked me to give a low-level and database design for the app which I use mostly (I said Spotify). I was asked to write queries for the same. They asked 2 DS questions: One was to find intersection and the other was to detect cycle in a linked list. They asked few questions from one of my projects.
Last round was Social Change and Leadership round, where they will look how we care for society, our views on LGBTQ, Caste Based Reservation system, and the situations where you have led a team. By the end of all 4 rounds, 18 got offered a role of Application Developer - Consultant Graduate in the Chennai office.
