I had a technical pairing interview where they gave me a simple project based on terraform and initially they scheduled the pairing interview, but the night before the interview, I got an email that the interviewer is not available and they rescheduled it after 2 days. I did the assessment and I answered all the questions and the interviewer mentioned I will get an update from the recruiter. After 2 weeks I got an update from the recruiter saying that I passed the pairing interview and they would like to go ahead for the. next rounds but he said the position has been filled and they do not have any other positions right now. But he wanted me to attend the next round and then I will be in a 'Ready to Hire' situation where he can offer me a job immediately when a position opens up. I agreed to that and was waiting for the interview invite. Its been more than a month and till now I have been emailing the recruiter about the status but I never get any response from him. THIS IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I took time and finished the assessment you gave me I spent time talking to the interviewer and answering all the questions, and the recruiter mentioned I have passed the pairing interview but the position is closed. Now ghosting me is very unethical. It is your responsibility to keep me updated. Overall I had a really bad experience with thought works interview process.

It was a 4 round process. 1. Technical discussion - in-depth questions on scaling and designing of solution using Kubernetes/helm etc. 2. Take home infra assignment (1 week given and can be extended on request) 4. Social culture fit 3. Assignment review/system design/scenario-based interview with a developer and fellow consultant Overall ok experience. The last round experience was bad. The consultant who interviewed seemed inexperienced, narrow visioned, not to forget was unclear about what the question they wanted to ask. The same consultant reviews your assignment. In my case consultant hardly had a look at the submission. After the last round, I got feedback that they found that I did not showcase a deeper understanding of designing and scaling infrastructure which was a lame reason given the fact that in every round they asked questions about scaling and design. If I was no good then why waste my time until the last round to reject.
