Pros

When I joined thoughtworks a couple years ago it was a really nice place to work. A place that used to care more about good ways of working and keeping a diverse and understanding culture (though it had it's issues). Sadly this has shifted more towards "just make the client happy" regardless of the employee's well being.

Cons

For a company with such a bug motto of taking care of their employees well beings and the importance of diversity, they're quite quick at disregarding all that and making every single one of their employees unhappy in order to make the clients happy, even when the client's demands are absurd and go againts what thoughtworks claims to be their priorities and values. It's said that actions speak louder than words, and thoughtworks's actions do not align with their so called values. Not to mention promotions have been frozen for ages, so the possibiloty of advancing in the carreer is inexistence, no matter how many times you exceed in the performance evaluation.

Pros

You work with fantastic people around the globe, people really willing to learn and support others. You get to work with really big companies, and learn about many different industries. You have a lot of autonomy (so far) and you are encouraged to be creative

Cons

You only need to look at TW stock price to know things are going wrong. Since its IPO things are not the same, big re org happening and TW is loosing its premium and unique sales point just to have the board receiving earnings. In the past 1.5 years, salaries are freeze, and inflation in Europe doesn't stop. Many people is leaving the company, people that was here for many years. In addition, layoff are part of the re org
