      Pros

      - my compensation is good

      Cons

      - constantly reinventing process in a way that will almost certainly be worse than what we were doing before - very few opportunities to actually lead teams, although everybody in leadership does their best to pretend that's not the case. Engagements are usually just "staff augmentation" where all we're doing is adding extra bodies - leadership seems to be trying to centralize process/decision making, which is the opposite of what makes large tech companies function well - quality of people seems like it's decreased - company culture has become non-existent - give anybody in leadership negative feedback, and they seem annoyed to be talking about 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.
