Seems like quite an interview process.

  Each round is relatively short. So may be more number of rounds, but not very long.

So your takehome assignment, pair programming interview, and technical interview(s) are not enough to test logic and aptitude? Nice!

  The individual rounds are not very lengthy. It's about getting more perspectives in short durations and consolidating the results.

Unless you're paying Netflix-like salary, your interview process reeks of hubris and arrogance. Not even Google has this many ridiculous hoops to jump through.

  Really? From what I have heard, Google is even more grueling in interviews.

Holy crap that interview process is a giant red flag. Good luck.

  Have to second this. I am actually in the market for multiple of the listed skills, but I'm going to pass on this specifically because your interview process seems like a huge time sink. You could cut it down to Phone interview, Take-home coding assignment (or) Pair programming interview, Technical Interview(s). The logical and aptitude test is quite redundant considering all the programming rounds before it. How do you do a 'Cultural Interview'? Isn't cultural fit something you should have your interviewers noticing in the other rounds of interviewing? And whatever is a 'Social Economic Justice round'? Sounds like a round where the HR tries to guilt you into taking a lower salary :P

    Although the number of rounds are high, each one is pretty short. There are other posts in this thread which mention 4-5 hours of tech interviews. Our two technical rounds don't exceed 2 hours. Culture interview round is to understand the overall fit of the candidate with ThoughtWorks culture. This is a normal round in many tech companies, however most don't mention it explicitly. Social and Economic Justice round is a discussion with the candidate on his/her views of important social and economic issues. ThoughtWorks has a deeply ingrained culture of Social justice and we do a lot of community work with technology in mind.
