Thoughtworks reviews

If you are a designer stay away from this company. Not a right place. First, they'll hire, will fail to put you on a project and then they will ask you to work on ppt's or some other random stuff. Worst is nobody understands design, and i am sure they don't want to understand. Their focus is the only tech. Design leader is NOT a leader at all. Always helpless, frustrated and more interested in apple polishing. No work just talk talk and talk. That's it. There was no transparency in the team. Only set/fav people will get to travel or will get good projects. One of the worst team and especially leader I have ever seen. All disconnected. Nobody knows whats happening including the leader but if you talk to leader, s/h will behave like I know everything . Here it was all about making connections and talk. There are few good designers, but they are always ignored leader and other leaders. It's a blind game which is going on. No matter how good you are at work nobody will care. Just stay away.

- 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.
