TorchWood

For those of you who don't know, I've been going through the long and involved interview process that belongs to a company I had code named TorchWood. If you haven't guessed yet, they are ThoughtWorks.

The process was:

1. submit a customised CV;
2. 45 minute phone interview;
3. 3 day coding test at home;
4. an IQ test;
5. logic test;
6. personality "survey";
7. cultural interview;
8. whiteboarding technical interview;
9. paired programming interview; and
10. final interview with management.
    

This took less than two weeks and could have gone faster if I wanted it to. The process was enjoyable, challenging and fair. Today, I recieved the official offer from them and a t-shirt. It was the t-shirt and purple folder that made me say yes to their offer in the end :o)

Next week I'm off to Melbourne for a two day induction and the week after will see me spending two weeks participating in their Immersion process in Bangalore, India. Sounds a little like a cult :o) We call ourselves ThoughtWorkers.
