Experience
I did my 6-month internship at Thorogood Associates India Pvt. Ltd, from May 2018 to Nov 2018. It was a brand new experience for me, they are more concerned about the work-life balance. 0% pressure and they have a lot of activities happening around every week. They have an Engage team that keeps us high on our toe with continuous events and workshops. Every week we had Monday meme mails, Thursday we had fun events, crazy birthday wishes, TGIT events by newcomers of the office and fancy dressing competition during festive seasons. It’s all fun.
Round 1: Essay writing and Aptitude. Go with few points for essay writing, sometimes you need to type the essay. For aptitude, prepare for everything and add little concentration for data interpretation.
Round 2: Thorogood looks for people with the following qualities,
- Self-starters: Today's industry demands people to be working on their own without adding any dependency to their co-workers, its the same expectation. In other perspectives, you will be given a weightage if you started a club or curated a new event or had a startup or formed a student community.
- Perseverance: The way we address the questions in the interview will be analyzed and there they will be strongly looking for never give up attitude.
- Customer obsession: Few intentional questions will be asked, to know how much we care about our friends, our college and our customers.
- Communication: They have a charming and diverse culture in the Indian office, we can find people from different states of the country. There comes the need for good English. Practice karo, you can make it. Get ready with your projects. You should show excellence in at least one subject or area.
Assessment Center:
There will be 4 rounds and a self-evaluation submission. It is advisable to go unprepared. But, it is good to keep a few points in mind,
1. Be attentive
2. Never hesitate to ask questions
3. If you are asked to do a presentation, speak confidently
You have to be in full concentration for the whole day starting from 8.30 AM to 5.30PM.
Note: It's false that, students can’t learn much from TG. You can explore yourself and its best place where you can nurture yourself with Techno-management skills. Nowadays, they have started moving more towards Data Analytics, cloud, and a few more cutting edge technologies as well. If you are thirsty, you can add a kind request to the Indian management team. I am sure, they will take that for consideration.
By the way, Thorogood has a special touch in their food choices.
