Pros

Working with people who are mostly smarter than you; opinionated, outspoken bunch. Good feedback. Most people value excellence.

Cons

Slightly harder for introverts. However, introvert geniuses shine.

Pros

The flat structure, by it's nature, encourages people to branch out and find what challenges them and helps them find what they are looking for in a career.

Cons

The flat organization requires a level of self-ownership of their own career that many find difficult. There are no 'career paths". I tend to thrive in this sort of environment, but I know many people who can't deal with the flexibility.

Pros

* You set your own bar - and you need to set it high :) * You don't need to be manager - ever !!! * Hard work , Brilliance and knowledge is key for success - you learn continuously to be at par of other thought-workers - as they also learning every day * Reading is valued - and recommended * People connect is important - to connect to other people, you don't need to be talkative or extrovert - Honest people are liked by other thought-workers. * Your demonstrated skills are valued more than your experience on paper * What you did today matters more than what you did yesterday * Salary is not the (only) reason for me to work for Thoughtworks. There are many other reasons as well. My friends in other companies can't believe it. lol, * Senior management are available without any appointments. - they don't have cabins, so they can always sit in front of you.

Cons

* very limited work from home options for mothers of small kids or anybody else in need * Some people may come across to you as arrogant
