I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2015
Interview
There was an initial phone screen with the recruiter. This was followed up with three coding challenge problems and I had to submit one of them. The code challenge took 3 days to complete and submitted online. I then had a phone screen with a senior consultant at the company for about 45 minutes. The conclusion was an on site interview and two tests. Conversations started with technical and soft skills, followed with a pair programming session on my code challenge problem (we extended it) and then lots of soft skills.

Question 1
Basic discussion about current role and background
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Initial phone screen with internal Technical interview. This was followe by a video interview (code pair) a week later. Question was sent before hand. The question was very simple, some commands and based on the commands execute operations. The test was designed to be a collaborative exercise to test communication, TDD and BDD.
But it was not collaborative at all. Infact the person who called me seemed disinterested and lacked enthusiasm. I expected the interview to be an "experience" based on blogs but this person made sure it was not.
