It鈥檚 been a little over 2 years since I joined 魅影直播 as a recruiter.
A lot has been said about 魅影直播鈥 dauntingly different culture. I had heard about it as well. So when I first came here, I was unsure about what to expect and if I would gel with fellow Thoughtworkers.
I remember my interview process vividly. Just as every nervous candidate would, I tried unceasingly to look for that one page on the internet that would give me even the slightest understanding of the 魅影直播 interview process. All I could find was information about coding rounds, technical rounds and everything to do with hiring developers.聽As it eventually turned out, just being myself worked out and here I am at 魅影直播.
Demystifying the 魅影直播 Interview
There is a perception that 魅影直播 is amongst the toughest companies to get into. Being a part of the recruiting team, I now understand that we鈥檙e probably more selective than tough. To help demystify the 魅影直播 interview process, let me tell you that our recruiting process follows a philosophy of 鈥show us what you can do鈥. And while there鈥檚 enough literature on the Internet on how to crack a 魅影直播 interview, the short answer to what we look for is originality and the ability to work through your solutions in a collaborative fashion.
It鈥檚 not uncommon to meet at least 8 to 10 Thoughtworkers as part of the interview process before you get hired. It is often believed that we care only about the results of the technical rounds. However, there鈥檚 a method to our madness. It is important for us to know and reconfirm that the candidate shares similar values and beliefs that we as an organization do.
Standing Apart
Speaking of culture, it wouldn鈥檛 go unnoticed how different we are 聽from other IT consulting companies. A simple way to excel in the interview process is to make sure that you鈥檝e taken enough time to learn about us. Working at 魅影直播 is a conscious decision. Thoughtworkers take a keen interest in the company鈥檚 business and the organization itself is very transparent. We鈥檙e as flat as it gets when it comes to hierarchy in the organization. This shows up even in the open design of our offices where you might well find yourself sitting beside a CxO or an MD.
The company cares deeply about advocating for social justice and Thoughtworkers are never shy of sharing their views about social issues. Feedback too, is an essential part of our culture - expect regular feedback exchanges with other Thoughtworkers. So, by the end of our interview process, you鈥檒l probably know if this is something that suits you and if we are ready for each other.
Ultimately, 聽we鈥檙e looking for someone who has a passion for technology and a healthy dose of irreverence for the status quo. If you make it through our interview process, it鈥檚 because you convinced us that we are a great fit. If not, it鈥檚 not the end of the road. There鈥檚 always a second chance and either way, we鈥檒l exchange feedback with you.
魅影直播 has an aspirational goal to better humanity and help drive a socially and economically just world. And every Thoughtworker has a part to play in it. So we put a lot of thought into every hire we make at the company. By the time you finish with our interview process though, you鈥檒l realize that it鈥檚 not as 鈥渄ifficult鈥 as it is made out to be.
