Pros

Technically strong development business and some nice people

Cons

very difficult to get anything done, seems like everyone is plodding along and no real dynamism or motivation to make anything happen - probably due to the "no bonus" approach they have which is all very customer focused and new age but if like me you have ever visited a communist country like Cuba for example you will understand the effect that such an approach to salaries has - basically if there is no incentive to earn more or achieve more then no one really seems to push to get things done - this is my observation from working with Thoughtworks and visiting Cuba - very similar.

Pros

1) Great culture. Great people to work with. 2) Great projects. Worked on some really great projects in my tenure of 3 years. 3) Programming language agnostic: You are expected to learn languages as you change projects. 4) Flat Hierarchy. Everybody has a say. 5) Great opportunities. In my tenure of 3 years, worked in 3 different countries, 5 different offices. Got the opportunity to do some knowledge transfer, train people, start a project, be the lead, recruit new thoughtworkers apart from normal day-to-day coding.

Cons

I can't think of any cons. Its just an awesome place to work at.
