Pros

Great place to launch your career as a developer or PM in Agile. Working with highly intelligent co-workers is a treat. If you are a developer, there is an immediate bias towards you and your value to the organization.

Cons

Heavy, heavy travel. Often traveling weekends or Friday nights on your own time. Poor relative pay. Executive management are too junior, often promoted from developer/pm with no corporate leadership experience. This yielded shocking mistakes in leadership and sharp staff attrition rates. I wouldn't go back. You can make more money through local consulting companies and no travel. My advice? Look elsewhere.

We hear you about travel - it's a hot topic all across our industry. As a software consultancy, we believe it's essential to work side-by-side with clients but we know it can be tough! We've recently introduced a new Global Travel Program to reduce the demands of travel and improve things like flexibility, convenience, comfort, and choice for travelers. If you're reading this and considering applying to ThoughtWorks, please feel free to ask us about our Global Travel Program! Thank you! Joanna Parke, Chief Talent Officer

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
