Thoughtworks reviews

As a Developer: - There is no scope for the growth of your knowledge or practice as the average IQ of the employees are dramatically falling. - You will be asked to work on support of legacy application for a really long time and do not entertain the option on working on different projects. - Average dev experience of the company might be a little over 3 years at best. This makes it feel like you lose your wisdom on a daily basis when you work there. As an employee: - The higher management and a few in the middle are extremely political. - They create useless positions in the management which does not help in any part of running a sustainable business. - The management falsely praises some developers if any, but give the same yearly increment to everyone - Nothing is transparent - They claim to be a flat hierarchy structure but are practicing invisible roles and keep everyone in the dark - Lot of horny men harass the women at social event at office - Finally, the founder of the company talks about poverty ridden children to a thousand people in a 5-star hotel

I have never seen such an attrition before. Indian offices of thoughtworks are getting a big hit bec' of few serious issues. If you are an experienced professional, then you should make the resource manager, Project manager, business analyst, team lead, they guy who sits in the next table who has big voice etc., feel that you are talented. Your complete growth, onsite opportunities, good projects - depends on what they feel about you. Earlier the organization wasn't this judgmental. How can a resource manager who doesn't know neither technology nor you, can decide what you will be doing ? But they will take all the key decisions just by the magical discussions that they have with other so called key people who doesn't know what you are working on. The local politics is spoiling a good company. So many talented people doesn't get a good project that they deserve. So many just-talk-and-get what you want people keep getting the opportunities setting bad example for others to follow.
