Pros

- some stellar, lovely, smart people are still around - culture still there in pockets - learning opportunities for juniors - mostly people that care about how they work (even where clients don't free them) - the engineering and delivery ideals are wonderful

Cons

- client choice seems misaligned with long term technical & talent strategy - underpays compared to market citing other benefits that don't really exist now - lack of internal support structure for consultant growth via staffing - years of short-term thinking and incentives in survival mode have corroded many things - lots of persistent fear has created cynical or conservative mindsets among prof svcs - performance process is now quite a mess

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.
