      Project Manager Interview

      17 Aug 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chennai
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chennai) in Jun 2012

      Interview

      I received a call from the HR after i submitted my CV directly to them. There was a discussion on the roles available, and although i felt that I had more senior experience, the recruiter and I agreed that there would be a learning curve due to agile etc... so it was ok to take on a basic PM role. First had a telephonic interview, which I guess was only a screening process. The interviewer was asking very basic questions, but was more interested in my experiences. After the telephonic interview, I was called to their facility for an in-person interview. Had a very simple logical written test, which i must have done ok. Then, an in-person interview with a pair of PMs. The interviews were very informal, but again, these people had much lesser experience than I had. The questions were scenario-based, and the interviewers were more interested in the reasons behind my decisions. I was told that this was through. After a couple of more weeks, I was called in again. 2 more interviews, with 2 pairs of project managers - same tone. The project managers were still talking naively, the questions mostly on how to keep the customers and team members happy. Now given a situation, how a PM would respond would depend a lot on a variety of circumstances, with the PM's prime responsibilities being cost, quality and time. However, most of their expectations seemed to be about keeping developers and customers happy again. With my experience, I was aware that the customer project manager is not the only person to be kept happy, the project has to gain acceptance with the business users and sponsors, even if it means bruising the customer manager a bit, and we had a few discussion on my point of view. The HR then took eternity to get back to say that they felt that I was not customer-centric. Wow! I thought!! I told them that that was what i felt about the interviewers too, so there was a problem, and asked to be interviewed by a senior person. I gave them some instances of mistakes that the interviewers made. They said that was not required, and that their mind was made up. When i shared my overall experience about the interviewers not having an eye on profit for the organization or the customers, I was told that Thoughtworks does not execute any projects for profit!!! I went into the interview process with such an high regard for the organization, but came out feeling so silly about my opinion. My advice, do not join Thoughtworks for managerial positions. You wont learn much except account keeping. All they want is high performing developers. They do not want or need high performing project managers, just people managers who can mutely keep a team of high performers together! Of course, i did check if their website said thoughtworks.org! :-)

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Singapore)

      Interview

      Interview had around 4 rounds, although the scheduling system and documents do not tally. 1) recruiter screening 2) technical screening 3) office interview (but its online)/case study 4) leadership and culture interview Overall HR was helpful and prompt, however i come to realise its only if they are interested in you. Responses provided with 1-2 business days. However I was ghosted since my laat interview and never heard back, not very well done and typical asian style. Sessions went well, however for case study interview, interviewer spent a long time sharing his journey and asking alot of background questions. During the case study presentation, he cut me off while i was presenting asking to cover 1-2 slides and I had to rush through midway, wasn't tracking the time but im sure i wasnt given the full 30mins to share. This was also the feedback given to me that i didnt present the content in detail later on. Throughout the session, it seemed like he was finding a specific type of PM that was like him and nothing else. I did not think that my presentation was poorly done, the deck I had spent significant effort in putting together. Ask for feedback towards the end of the interview, and he said it was thorough and had great visual elements (journey, future experience) but he also said later portions were rushed (which was by his own design as he asked me to rush through due to time). Did not hear from anyone, even after i reached out to HR. Ghosted.

      Interview

      Initial screening interview, followed by a case study around a client scenario for which I had to prepare for a couple of days. I recommend you proactively ask what they are looking to test with the case study. Lastly, leadership interview.

      Application

      I interviewed at Thoughtworks

      Interview

      I was contacted by this company through LinkedIn for a position they said matched my experience. I went through several rounds of interviews, dedicating time and effort to prepare and demonstrate genuine interest in the opportunity. After the last conversation, I never received any feedback, not even a short message. I followed up twice via email, giving them plenty of time to respond, and was completely ignored. No explanation, no closure, nothing. This behavior is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. It’s disappointing to see a company treat candidates with such disregard, especially after initiating contact themselves. As I can see from other reviews here, this is not an isolated case, it appears to be part of the company’s culture to treat people this way. That makes it even more concerning, as it shows a lack of respect and empathy embedded in their recruitment practices. Being ghosted after multiple interviews is not only disrespectful but also inhumane. Candidates deserve basic courtesy and transparency. I truly hope they reflect on their hiring process and start treating people with the respect and professionalism everyone deserves.
