Pros

If you are in closed formed nexus, you will rise irrespective of your skill

Cons

Raise a voice against wrong thing, you will be in the hit list. They only claim a flat hierarchy organisation. You won't know whom should you raise your concern hr changes every year what they call as people champion. They do every random stuff except taking care of people.

Thank you for taking the time to review and sharing your feedback with us. I'm sure you know, feedback is what allows our culture to grow and improve. I’m working on gathering thoughtful reviews like yours to share with our leadership team so that we can start to address the pain points for our employees. That said, all ThoughtWorkers are empowered to speak up (and they do!) - especially if they don't agree with something. This is something we will keep our eyes on for sure. If you're open to having a personal conversation to share more details about the experiences you've had, please do email me at anug@thoughtworks.com . Wishing you the best, Anu

Pros

- Very supportive colleagues and working environment. (aka no "jerks" policy) - Work in a team with knowledgable and inspiring technical people, which you can learn new things from - Project teams always carefully crafted to have a higher percentage of seniors and mid level developers as compared to juniors (aka your project will probably go smoothly and no death march) - Deployment of software is always through the automated Continuous Integration/ Deployment pipeline (aka no fear to release new version software, and no staying back late after working hours to fix deployment issue) - Get to be assigned to different projects, which means you get experience in many different languages and technologies to beef up your resume - This is a consulting job, so we have the chance to improve your tech communication skills, as you get to interact with clients (not a job where you just code), which will definitely be valuable in your future career. - There are often office events, and get togethers where we can interact with other teams, (aka: no silos) - Generous salary, and other benefits where the company foots your mobile and internet bill

Cons

- Not really a con, but due to the supportive environment, you will not get direct pressure from the higher ups to improve yourself. So over here it is important to plan your career aims and have the self motivation to stick to it. - As your fellow colleagues are always pushing the limit, this is not a place for someone who does not like change or getting out of their comfort zone.

Pros

1. Opportunity to learn/practice Agile.

Cons

1.Full of Arrogant people who just show that they are passionate about technology but has no in-depth knowledge. 2. You are just supposed to form an opinion that they have. If you don't then they just know to laugh at you.
