      Technology trumps everything

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pretty flat structure, but that is a pro & con, you have the opportunity to work globally, and you are surrounded by really clever people

      Cons

      Flat structure, newer people keep getting told 'that isn't the TW way' but you are never told the TW way until you have stepped into the bear trap, technologists are treated like gods, so projects can feel unbalanced - all people's inputs aren't equal, hard to figure out the politics of it all, took me about 1 year, hard to see the path to progress to a senior level

      Big promises with no follow through

      Consultant developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart people who know tons about technology. Although, you may never meet these people.

      Cons

      The pay is awful, they base pay off whether or not you have a CS degree and not experience. They try as hard as possible to hide this information. They say they are about work family balance but they don't.

      Inconsistent across countries

      Lead consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place for unexperienced people Some good people still in the company

      Cons

      Consultants are at the mercy of sales and management. Recently a large amount of experienced consultants have been leaving the company due to the way the company is managed, which reflects on the quality of projects being sold and how they are run. Travel can be very tiresome and in many cases it's arbitrary. Experience in different offices vary wildly. I've found that the USA is the most problematic country to work at, due to the politics, and sheer management immaturity.
