Pros

Free food that is only benefit or may be macbook

Cons

Thoughtworks has really gone down it is become such a unstable company they laid off me because I did not had project and I was on bench but the thing is they did not had any open roles very few and it did not worked out and suddenly they laid off me. I was a new hire only 6 months had passed if that was the case then why they hired me if they had to fire me. No proper intimation just out of blue they inform me about this the staffing team is so unresponsible they donot how to tag people according to there tech stack to right roles. They donot have sufficient project so please consider before coming here I committed a big mistake doing this as I thought it is a good brand but inside it is worse. Ultimately they will make you responsible for not getting project even though it is there responsibility.

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
