I had my interview at Thoughtworks, and I passed all the rounds of the interview now yesterday was the leadership round and today I got the call from recruiter that the feedback is positive BUT the client has put the position on hold. Do you think this is right after almost 4.5 - 5 hrs of so many interviews? And now the recruiter said he will get back if the position opens again in next 6 months, do you think this is ever going to happen at Thoughtworks now? Has anybody else faced this?

This might be due to the hiring freeze. Honestly, the TWs HR are far better in my experience but I am not sure if they will definitely call back.
But, what happened is incorrect. Making someone go through so many rounds and also the time spent by the interviewers are getting wasted.

Go for a better offer dude. The recruiters are not responding these days. They too are employees they cannot do something which is not in their hands.
Respect for them too. They need to deal from pressure from both ends.

Yes, this could be because they decided to freeze hiring suddenly. Usually once hiring restarts (which may be 6 months, can be more or even less) instead of finding new candidates and conducting interviews, HR will reach out to candidates like you who are already in the pipeline first. Provided there is opening for your tech stack. My suggestion will be to start looking for other offers without completely relying on them to come back after few months.

Does this freeze usually happens at Thoughtworks? Or this the first year?

Same happened with me but they gave me the offer letter after one month but now they suddenly revised my joining date from Dec to Feb. I would suggest keep looking for more opportunities and don’t rely on it completely. I understand how sad one feels after clearing all the rounds and after that hearing that the position is now on hold.

But cheer up and keep hustling.

Thanks for your suggestion, I will definitely keep looking for more opportunities but good to hear that they are reaching out after 1 month with offer letter.
What did they say when they kept your profile on hold? And what they mentioned when they called back?

Same thing happened to me last week
Did you got any update after that?

It may seem obvious, but in my experience partners value trial experience over anything else, so get it however you can. For example, my firm will favor a former prosecutor who has seen the courtroom a lot but has no civil litigation experience (not even a depo) over a seasoned associate who has only second chaired cases with a partner but hasn’t tried a case. Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.
