Pros

Thoughtworks is still a good place to start as a graduate, even if the TW university experience was also replaced by a painful remote course. Also, you might get a lot of visibility if you like to give talks and promote passionately any tech topic, as the company is hungry to have any new ways to differentiate from the competitors.

Cons

After going public, Thoughtworks it's just another consultancy company, really far away from the premium partner once it was. The limits of not working with customers related to gambling or countries that doesn't respect human rights are fading really fast, and day by day, the employees are becoming more like numbers to rent no matter what, so the company earnings increases as much as possible. Maybe a more relaxed company than other consultancies, but also paying way below the market. The founder's idea of the company it's now just a facade while most of the talent is moving on because of the low salaries, weird behaviours agains what we are supposed to represent, layoffs and organisational changes.

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.
