Thoughtworks reviews

The last few years at Tw were stagnant and filled with uncertainty. It was clear that my line manager had no vested interest in my growth. They'll say that your growth at Tw all depends on you which is true. But it also came down to who you know and where you worked before. They'll comment that this isn't the case, that your growth is self directed, but that's simply not true. I saw people being promoted for virtually no reason, people who had a reputation for getting little done and also being difficult to work with. Meanwhile, the people who were highly regarded as model coworkers were often laid off or resigned. Sad culture that, now with an ex-Accenture CEO will be totally lost.

• They just don’t want you to move from Junior to Senior level. The grade change process is a joke, with no clear criteria to determine if you are qualified, have enough experience, or are ready for the change. • What you can do at TW is everything and keep all evidence for review, but they will always find a reason to reject you. • The People Team is unprofessional and lacks knowledge of labor laws, and the process is inconsistent between countries. • Performance appraisals are a joke. They assign a Performance Partner from another project and country, someone who has no knowledge of your performance. • There is no reasonable explanation for layoffs; they are not transparent and keep everything secret. • They claim to promote diversity and equality, but people from Thailand only protect Thais, leaving out people from other countries. • Constructive feedback from this company is also a joke.
