Behavioral

I had my first interview with the Thoughtworks recruitment team for a Business Analyst position in Singapore. The recruiter and I spoke for about 45 minutes, and they seemed pleased with my application, saying they would get back to me about the next interview's timeslots. However, a few days later, I received an automated rejection email without any explanation. This is quite unprofessional and not what I expect from Thoughtworks. Please improve your process to avoid leaving candidates waiting without information.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Could you tell me about the projects you have worked on?
  • What is your experience with being the sole Business Analyst on a project?
