Pros

Work from home Still have some very talented people (Most of them left already)

Cons

Bad Communication Management keeps talking about our values, trying to make it seem like TW is different from any other service company. Maybe it was, once. But not anymore. There’s no "extraordinary impact" here. Most projects are nothing more than maintenance, and you’re not here to create an "extraordinary impact"—you’re here to keep things running. (Sounds exciting?) Values :) Transparency: There have been three rounds of layoffs. Before the last two, managers told people in meetings that they hadn’t heard anything about upcoming layoffs. (One week after that meeting, another round of layoffs happened.) People: I can definitely feel that the company cares about its employees. We felt it when we were lied to—twice—about postponed salary and promotion reviews. Seeing our "updated" salaries for the first time only when they were already in our bank accounts. (Sounds like a startup, right?) After two years with no raises, when they finally "unfroze" the process, even with a grade change, most of us got less than a 3% increase. If all of this sounds good to you, go ahead and join. Just don’t expect anything different from other service companies. TW is great at selling its culture—one that no longer exists.

Pros

I've had a great experience building my career at Thoughtworks. One of the things that stands out most is the culture. It's collaborative, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely want to help each other succeed. Thoughtworks has also provided me with meaningful opportunities for career growth. I've been encouraged to take on new challenges, develop new skills, and explore different career paths. Leaders have been approachable and supportive, and I've always felt empowered to own my development rather than being confined to a single role. Like any organization, we’ve had our ups and downs. But the people and the commitment to continuous learning have remained consistent strengths. If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally, work with smart and passionate people, and be part of a culture that values collaboration and innovation, Thoughtworks is a great place to build your career.

Cons

None that I can think of right now.
