Pros

1. Many dedicated, smart, ethical, conscientious people still remain 2. ThoughtWorks is a good brand to have on your CV 3. The company does some heart-warming social good through its Social Impact Program

Cons

1. Nepotism, perfected to a science 2. Too many people thrive in ThoughtWorks by sheer dint of the fact that they have been a "ThoughtWorker" for over 5 years 3. Career counselling and goal setting are very ambiguous. 4. The inability to stick to a plan is very common here, whatever be the plan 5. This "flat" company has some unseen peaks and troughs which are invisible to the naked eye 6. Some of the best people have left this company's Indian operations in the last few months 7. Laterals have a really tough time 8. Misplaced intellectual arrogance abounds 9. A cloud of secrecy and stage-managed internal PR hides the real reason for many employees' exits, thereby giving rise to disconcerting rumours
