Pros

Employee friendly work culture & policies Great flexibility in terms of work life balance Lots of privileges for women Global opportunities Competitive salary and perks

Cons

Way too much focus on numbers (revenue and margin) than people. The quality of projects has gone down Favoritism by some senior people means that not everyone gets the same kind of growth and opportunities. Your growth in the company is based upon who you know and who knows you People who put in the hard work are kind of neglected. Rather, the spotlight is on those who know to show off Recruitment is more focused on the quantity of people rather than the quality. A lot of average skilled people have easily made it into the company in the recent years A lot of formal hierarchy has crept in

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.
