How is Thought Works Bangalore??

[abhishek roy]

Hi Fellow Ranchers,
Could you tell me how is the company Thoughtworks bangalore?
I heard that they are full of Agile Processes.

How is the pay package there?
How is the work culture over there?
Can it be counted as a Paymaster?

regards,
Abhishek

Fundu company in terms of work and the people there..Dont know about other stuff..

[Sumit Chopra]

One of the most difficult to get into.

[abhishek roy]

Thanks Rambo . I wanted to work in such a company. How are the job openings over there?? How frequently do they put in the newspapers about the openings?? Do you have any information regardin this.

[abhishek roy]

Do you know how many rounds of interview do they have?? How hard is it to get into it. do you have any information about it.

[Rajan Chinna]

Post your resume on their website and they will get back to you. There will be telephonic interview first and then face-face interview. This is in US, I guess it should be same in india as well. You can find info on their website though.
Its a very good company to work for.

Thanks a lot for this info guys. Thanks. But how is the pay scale over there. Can it be counted as one of the paymasters?

[Jignesh Patel]

They must be good pay master as in USA they are offering job with 100% travelling. Which normally many candidate doesn't like but India this may not be scenario.

If you heard of Martin Flower, he is working for the same company.

[Pradeep bhatt]

I visted their website.It is a great company. Only great guys can get in there. Not me.

[abhishek roy]

Actually I got a chance to work with them while on an UK assignment last August 05. Our Clients had all thoughtworks contractors. There I was introduced to agile processes and the system of the clients had a very big architecture. But my project managers were very skeptic about Agile processes. They alway tell even now that Agile is Fragile. But in my own experience that I got from working with them I saw the whole bunch was a full dedicated team.

Once again I believe some day (may be next job) will be in thoughtworks.

Hurrah for ThoughtWorks.

regards,
Abhishek

[abhishek roy]

Infact we are all unique and great. Just we require a bit of self realization. Then everything is achievable.

In India the process invovles: they will give you a case where you need to develop code(either in C, C++ or Java) and send them for evaluation. If your code is shortlisted they will call you for interview.

100% travelling would mean 1 week in Italy, next 2 weeks in China and then 3 weeks in Japan etc. Very few will be interested.

Martin *Fowler* is the Chief Scientist for ThoughtWorks and an excellent author. Referring to him as Martin Flower won't win you any points...
