Pros

- Lots to learn, some projects are really good. - personal growth is owned by the individual. - great work life balance.

Cons

- Low salary, huge disparity between new joiners and people who've been here. -People don't have an option but to leave after a few years irrespective of their performance, contributions or value to their current assignment. No offers given to retain old employees. - Best to avoid working for a promotion because you won't get a raise and promotions require a lot of work. Best to prepare for interviews instead and jump. - twks stock price has been consistently falling since IPO. - aggressive hiring, low confidence in hiring standards. - Lumos is too much work and not worth it. Feels like a school assignment and forced upon. - Ambiguous and biased travel policy. How do some people get international travel and some don't? - Very different standards across the globe. Indian vs. Germany for example. - The cult of thoughtworks. - Social impact, gender diversity and inclusion is just a marketing strategy, don't fall for it.

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.
