      Brilliant Colleagues, Disheveled Leadership

      Pros

      Smart fun colleagues. The opportunity to collaborate with others and pioneer new technology. The opportunity to work for both startups and fortune 500 clients all over the world. The best off-shoring model.

      Cons

      No work-life-balance and total lack of downtime. Changes at the leadership level happen with the speed of light, lack of strategic planning.

      Lots of talented, motivated people. Not so great work-life balance

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Filled to the gunnels with talented, highly intelligent people. Always more to learn and someone to learn from. Opportunities to travel and work in other countries. Always on the cutting edge of new technology.

      Cons

      Consulting. Often for difficult clients in locations you wouldn't voluntarily visit. Travel, long hours. 'Staff augmentation' assignments on projects without much influence. Basically like being a contractor without the income of a contractor.

      Pros

      Working with intelligent people is amazing, and TW definitely has that. Great ideas are always floating around, and every so often, they get implemented. I learned a great deal from my former collegues that have helped me further my professional career.

      Cons

      Most of the sr. management has become apathetic to the cause and mission of the company. Projects are dull for the most part. Investment in internal infrastructure is non-existent. Most, if not all consultants and internal employees are underpaid relative to other consulting companies. Investment in the "rock stars" is minimal. The environment started to become quite adversarial when I was leaving...
