Interview
There were two interviews and one code sample requested. The interviews were surprisingly non-stressful, and gave a great impression of the actual culture of the company. They were also unique--my second interview involved simulating the agile development cycle with legos. Emphasis was on willingness and ability to learn quickly, not so much on existing technical knowledge. The company routinely hires people from non-tech backgrounds into dev positions. Knowing the latest buzzwords and tech stacks will not get you many points here; being open to new experiences and knowing your own faults and limitations will. None of the 'standard' interview questions were asked, and most of the interviews consisted of relatively casual conversations with current employees.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not a question per se, but I was given 45 minutes to pair-code with a ThoughtWorks developer and refactor the code I had submitted as a sample.

Interview
Good logical, speed tests. Interviews are not as simple as what is what but instead ur ideas, the way you go about solving the problem, are judged. You need to have good communication skills.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2012
Interview
First started by receiving a questionnaire by email. This involved many random questions, some which test your creativity. Then I was asked to do a programming assignment. After submitting that, I was contacted by a recruiter. There were situation type questions and behavioral questions. After that I was informed that I would be participating in an onsite interview.
The onsite interview lasted 2 days. The first day, I had a refactoring of the code I previously submitted. This involved 2 developers guiding me through my code and making it better. Next was a tour of the office followed by a wonderlic test and a logic flowchart test.
The second day involved an agile exercise which involved some role playing. Then I had two more interviews. The first interview was to go over some answers in the questionnaire. The last interview was more technical. Knowledge based questions about OOP, Java vs Python, and other programming concepts were asked as well as questions about various technical experiences.
I was really impressed by the company and the people there. I was excited to hear that I received an offer. Overall it was a great interview experience. I would say it was the best one I've had to date.
