Pros
- Interesting, new technologies (however I can't say it about every project) - When working with old Thoughtworkers you can notice a difference, all-rounded in tech, high consultancy skills, soft skills - Nice, polite people to work with, highly motivated and passionate about tech - Good practices taken seriously - Thanks to pairing, as a junior I learned a lot in a relatively short time - Many initiatives related to knowledge sharing in the office (f. ex. lunch&learn every week)
Cons
- Poor work-life balance (in some offices if you don't want to stay on the beach forever you need to take a project in another city), office related activities during the lunch time or after working hours, exhausting TW university - Very high expectations for the salary they offer, ideally you should not only excel technically, but be involved in outside the project initiatives. Those usually require your personal time. - P3 (social-economical justice) is a pure marketing for me. The way they organise is injust already. Since we are staffed 40h on client project there can't be time dedicated for it. Solution? Let's work on them after work, why not. So simple. Oh, and it's not paid. P3 related meetings at the lunch time. - Company’s values are very left-wing. You can’t challenge feminism, LGBT movement, abortion, socialism etc. In that sense there is no freedom of speech.
