First things first, ThoughtWorks is a company that was respected due to its core engineering values for which clients used to pay and partner with them. Those values were gone ages ago and the hiring bar has not been the same anymore for several years. They are just a glorified consultancy just as many other large consultancy companies out there. The Australian region is the worst-performing region across the globe. The leaders in the Australian region are awful and have no real engineering background (some of them were software testers) and have grown as in most consultancy companies with sheer internal connections. Most people with sales and good communication skills have gone up the ranks and they've pulled up people similar to them to form a mutual benefit society. Even during redundancies, this company was so unethical that they made the least connected (not performing) people within the organization redundant first. That speaks volumes about their culture and ethics which they boast about 365 days a year.
