Pros

People you get to work with are among the world's best at what they do. You will learn more about technology than you think is possible! You can travel to pretty much any place in the world!

Cons

Clients don't call ThoughtWorks unless they had serious problems. Sometimes it seems like you hop from place to place just going from difficult situation to difficult situation. Sometimes in life you want to settle down and stay in one place. That can be hard in TW. Sometimes you can't spend the extra time to keep up with the new things in the tech world. There is a bit of peer pressure to keep up, though you can manage if you don't succumb to peer pressure easily.

Pros

High calibre colleagues, interesting work, opportunities to advance knowledge on technical, cultural and social issues, less hierarchy than typical corporation, travel, embraces diversity of thought.

Cons

Career path may be hard- lots of flexibility but may be too unstructured for some. Difficult to succeed without strong internal network. Some who are drawn to the company nevertheless may not be best fits and will struggle more.
