Thoughtworks reviews

- Salaries were always average. - HR is incompetent. - Loud mouths win - Work life balance is usually great unless you get into a "Rescue" project (Thoughtworks inherits a shootty codebase from some other vendor). This usually means endless slogging and no comp-offs. - At one point i accumulated 15 com-offs which HR conveniently shrugged off as not possible. - A lot of office politics.

Having been part of this company for over 5 years, I've witnessed both prosperous moments and challenging ones. Regrettably, the current situation appears to be the most challenging we've encountered. I have reservations about the company's ability to reverse this downward trend, as the situation appears to deteriorate with each passing day. During uncertain times, the company's management appears to be lacking in effectiveness. They persist in providing their top executives with a base salary of $500,000 (not including stocks and bonuses) while attempting to stabilize their financial situation through substantial staff reductions. To date, they have executed two layoffs in the current year, affecting approximately 10% of their workforce. Moreover, they are contemplating another round of layoffs in the upcoming fall and early Q1 '24 if they are unable to correct their course. Additionally, they seem to terminate skilled employees while retaining individuals who may lack the necessary expertise, resulting in the loss of three significant contracts this year, which led to the recent August layoff. A significant portion of the company's personnel seems to prioritize style over substance, resembling used car salespeople who rely heavily on rhetoric. If you're currently employed here, it's wise to remain objective and explore other opportunities. If you are contemplating joining this organization, it is advisable to seek a workplace that genuinely values its employees rather than one that merely pays lip service to this principle. If you hold stocks in this company, you may want to contemplate the option of selling.
