Pros

- Good salary in Recife in all roles and levels - Snacks (fruits, crackers, cookies) available for free - Strong collaborative culture - Good technical and consultant challenges - Few travels (that will depend on the client. In the last 5 years I have travelled once (for a month) every year. - Video game available (provided by the employees, the company just allows it to be used in its infrastructure) - Flexible hours (some days of home office are allowed) - Every employee has a company coach. - A employee can be a coach. - Junior consultant goes to India for 5 week training. - You have a lot of independence and autonomy

Cons

- Can be very stressful for new comers due to the amount of new things that one might need to learn - If one say yes to every possible thing that appear in their calendar, that person won't have a life anymore. You are the one that need to deny certain events and meetings. - Employees with few or no experience might think that the outside world has the same culture as TW and therefore will complain about a lot of thing that might happen without knowing that other companies do a lot worse. Eg: those employees start to think that the company needs to put them in a specific project with specific tech, otherwise they don't want to go to that project. - Too much independence and autonomy without teaching how to deal with that independence and therefore people start to believe that they can literally to anything.
