Pros

- Great interview process. - attracts some good techie folks. - a global company with good travel opportunities. - Great diversity. - Early adopter of open source, XP, TDD - Worked with some great clients.

Cons

- 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.
