      Pros

      - Some very clever people - Reasonable salary package - Nice new Mac Pro - Free soft drinks in the office

      Cons

      - For an 'Agile' organisation they are very dogmatic. It has to be "The Thoughtworks way" - Very arrogant people. - Prior experience seems irrelevent. Only long standing TW'ers are listened to. - Lots of travelling. - Lots of after hours meetings

      Great place to work, as long as you can keep up with the pace.

      Pros

      Intelligent people, good and efficient processes. Salaries are reasonable and there is a good benefits package including a new work laptop, paid home internet access and snacks and drinks supplied in the office. Lots of travel involved if you want it. The more experience you have, the more you can move around with ThoughtWorks. However, if you're in high demand, you might be asked to travel more than you bargained for. Most of the time though, resource management caters to the needs of those who want to stay in their home city or those who want to travel more. There is also an annual weekend away to a location in your home country with all offices in that region.

      Cons

      Lots of people with strong opinions, which can be a good point as well. Although you can learn a lot from the bright minds at this company, sometimes you can feel overwhelmed by the fact that everyone has such a strong point on view on any such topic. There can be a lot of stubbornness as well. This can result in an arrogant workplace where your colleagues don't acknowledge that they have to work within the existing frameworks before they can truly 'revolutionise IT.' The working hours are sustainable, although the job requires more than just your standard hours at work. Most people are also involved in lots of 'after hours' education and learning which means it can be difficult if you really want to maintain a good work/life balance.

      Pros

      Flexible, because they don't have any projects so you will end up being on bench always

      Cons

      Don't have projects, staffing team have zero knowledge about where the employee fits, you have zero control on getting a client, if the company doesnt get a client for you, it's your mistake and they fire you like they did with me and some of my fellow mates, AVOID TW
