Pros

- Some great people to work with. - OK Food, decent office space, open desks, Macbook - Open to let you learn. - A very safe, nurturing environment to settle down.

Cons

- Very immature & spineless leadership - They have no strategy on business but rely on cowboy style of management. I haven't seen any so called leaders make a decision and back it up with some strategy/guts. I dont mean that their decision has to be right but they don't even have the guts to make a wrong decision. Business as Usual is their strategy and they like to look the other way when faced with any situation. They don't understand iota of business or people....all speeches are same with some words juggled here and there. "I HOPE" is the most common phrase used and which shows that all they hope is that everything would be fine. - People are promoted to higher positions without considering any past experience or anything but they would just go ahead and promote people without any accountability. I have never seen anyone been pulled up for performance issues in these leadership positions. - In last few years best brains have left the organisation and the management can't stop raving about themselves about how good the place it is. They simply have no brain power to understand why people are leaving and what needs to be done to stop this. - The company is fast becoming like any other regular services company with screwed up recruiting - people being made to run key initiatives where they don't have no past experience at all. In the name of social justice they are hiring more and more people with leftist/communist views and no brain at all. - People who know people are allowed to migrate to US/UK/Australia while others are told that there are no opportunities. We have a saying that TW India also gives you a honeymoon package i.e. connected people get long term abroad assignments just after they get married. - Founder is like any other ignorant AMERICAN who wants to change the rest of the world but not America. He also believes that rural Indian needs free internet more than food, clothes and a house.

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.
