AI in interviews

high confidence

GenAI help is allowed on applications if you disclose it; in assessments and interviews thoughtful AI use is accepted, but your answers must show your own real-time skill and judgment of AI output. Personal AI notetakers and recorders are not allowed in live interviews.

Typical interview loop

How Thoughtworks usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.

  1. Recruiter screen

    Focus: Background and fit

    A short Zoom or phone call on your background, goals and basic qualifications to check mutual fit.

  2. Pairing interview

    Focus: Coding, TDD, collaboration

    You get a small codebase ahead of time and extend it live with Thoughtworkers, talking through your choices as you go.

  3. Technical or case interview

    Focus: Design and client thinking

    A role-specific session that may be a case challenge, a presentation or a client-style role-play where you design a solution.

  4. Leadership and culture interviews

    Focus: Values, communication, leadership

    One or two conversations on how you collaborate, lead, give feedback and grow, with feedback given either way.
