      Pros

      Very open culture. Even the senior-most folk will listen to you and your opinion counts. Encourages contributions apart from regular work (Often goes out of the way to help employees working on open source). Excellent place to learn the trade and work with really smart people. Quality work over quantity (even on crappy projects).

      Cons

      The pay isn't great. Seen excellent people leave for much better salaries. You will occasionally land up in a particularly mundane or frustrating project. You have to be too vocal to get staffed on a project of your choice.

      Pros

      Cons

      - Indian management is slight a disappointment. - Salary/Talent ratio is low

      Pros

      ThoughtWorks consists primarily of off-beat technologists from the 99th percentile of intelligence. Very smart people, very diverse. TW has been referred to as "the island of misfit toys" which I take as a compliment. Very non-hierarchical. Very tolerant of minorities. Very supportive of a diverse workplace.

      Cons

      You must be ready to work on projects that are not always thrilling (it's called work for a reason). Because it is so welcoming of unconventional personalities, non-hierarchical, and exclusive in it's hiring process - and fun to be at! - TW can [apparently] get away with systematic underpayment. Salaries are consistently below average despite the fact that staff is superior to their cohort at higher paying companies.
