Pros

Technical staff is very knowledgeable Great environment with non-management staff Well known for Agile innnovation Looks good on a resume Pretty good benefits

Cons

Be prepared for the president of the company to insult your religious beliefs Consultants are expected to be on the road Sun thru Thurs and in the office on Friday. Basically work more than 50 hours per week- not including travel Little respect for non-liberals and the military US leaders are not well educated in business management and don't have good relationships with non-managers Very disorganized No respect for operations people and non-consultants Lots of staff turnover New comers are outside the clicks and don't get treated equally Employee morale is very low-- people don't feel appreciated No mentoring or formal learning opportunities Keep in mind that when they win the Best Places to Work Awards its only because they pay for them.

Pros

- Some very clever people - Reasonable salary package - Nice new Mac Pro - Free soft drinks in the office

Cons

- For an 'Agile' organisation they are very dogmatic. It has to be "The Thoughtworks way" - Very arrogant people. - Prior experience seems irrelevent. Only long standing TW'ers are listened to. - Lots of travelling. - Lots of after hours meetings
