Pros

- snacks in the office - flexible with vacation/personal days - before the pandemic, lunch on Fridays - receiving a work laptop - work from home equipment policy - Caroo packages and Thrilldom classes during the pandemic

Cons

- on projects for too long - hard to roll off projects if you want another direction / change - diversity and inclusion could be way better ie only 11% of professional services are black folks and only 7% are latinx folks - would have loved more money put into the internet benefit during this pandemic/working from home instead of personal development budget (especially since conferences have been virtual) - expectation on some projects to work more than 40 hrs a week - pay could be more comparable to other software developer positions at other companies

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.

Pros

Great culture, very laid back and as long as you show up and get your work done you are meeting expectations

Cons

Very difficult to get any salary increases or promotions. Lived in fear of layoffs bc there were often not a lot of projects so I was often on the bench for months at a time
