Pros

Great bunch of talented people to work with, who are more of friends than colleagues Lot of learning and interesting projects Global exposure ThoughtWorks brand name

Cons

One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Clueless and ineffective leader: no clarity of where we are going, lack people skill, ineffective communicator, doubts on client facing and sales skills, no presentation skills, not valued by people, not transparent - a non existent role for two years. People don't speak up because the leader isn't approachable either. An antithesis to everything we stand for at ThoughtWorks.

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.

Pros

Great culture, very laid back and as long as you show up and get your work done you are meeting expectations

Cons

Very difficult to get any salary increases or promotions. Lived in fear of layoffs bc there were often not a lot of projects so I was often on the bench for months at a time
