Pros

The company is still fully remote... unless you have to be at the client offices the whole week because the project was sold on that premise. You can still find some excellent professionals there. Still not the worst consulting company to work for, but getting worse at a fast pace.

Cons

The company has moved very quickly from being a disruptor and the harbinger of excellence to the worst practices of typical consulting practices.  The focus now is on getting as much money from the clients as possible, no matter if the project makes any sense. Most of the time, there is no clue about what is needed after the sale is done; you are just there to bill your hours. The salary for most employees has been frozen for almost 2 years.  Most people are leaving or thinking about it. The company has lost great professionals in the last 2 years, and just now they are hiring again, but the salaries for current employees are still frozen.

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.
