Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Thoughtworks (Singapura).
Entrevista
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.

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.
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.
