Pros

You will work with smart people. ThoughtWorks' reputation makes it relatively easy to get conference and book proposals accepted. The company is very dedicated to improving the state of the art of software development. Work with people who have significant experience using agile processes in both the typical situations as well as those areas that other's know little about such as large (100+ developers) and distributed (across multiple continents) projects. You will have the opportunity to work internationally.

Cons

Regular travel to boring places. Very hard to be exceptional in this crowd. Low compensation. Company is barely financially viable. International experience is required to reach the higher positions in the organization.

Pros

I've had a great experience building my career at Thoughtworks. One of the things that stands out most is the culture. It's collaborative, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely want to help each other succeed. Thoughtworks has also provided me with meaningful opportunities for career growth. I've been encouraged to take on new challenges, develop new skills, and explore different career paths. Leaders have been approachable and supportive, and I've always felt empowered to own my development rather than being confined to a single role. Like any organization, we’ve had our ups and downs. But the people and the commitment to continuous learning have remained consistent strengths. If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally, work with smart and passionate people, and be part of a culture that values collaboration and innovation, Thoughtworks is a great place to build your career.

Cons

None that I can think of right now.
