Pros

The people that are still here are great but those are dwindling fast

Cons

Abysmal compensation. Used the pandemic as an excuse to pay freeze to shore up their numbers for the IPO. While everyone in the tech industry were experiencing record raises and salaries TW was pinching pennies. Now that the tech industry is in a recession and they really can't give raises, the employees are suffering the most. There is a serious brain drain and more will continue to leave as there has been a pay freeze the past two years. Since the pandemic we've had three pay freezes. Company stock has dropped about 80% since IPO.

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.
