Pros

* Great culture * Friendly and talent engineers * Nice office

Cons

I am sharing my experience at Thoughtworks to help new joiners be aware of potential challenges. To be transparent, I was laid off from Thoughtworks Singapore in less than a month after joining. This was an incredibly difficult time, especially considering the current challenging tech job market. For someone with a family and child to support, the sudden layoff was particularly distressing. While Thoughtworks is known for its strong culture, the decision to hire and then lay off employees within such a short period feels irresponsible and has caused significant harm.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you highlighting our culture. During our recent reorganization to become a leaner organization and in preparation for going private again, we took some steps that may have unintentionally led to some challenges. However, we remain optimistic about the future and are committed to creating a stable and supportive environment for our employees.

Pros

I've had a great experience building my career at Thoughtworks. One of the things that stands out most is the culture. It's collaborative, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely want to help each other succeed. Thoughtworks has also provided me with meaningful opportunities for career growth. I've been encouraged to take on new challenges, develop new skills, and explore different career paths. Leaders have been approachable and supportive, and I've always felt empowered to own my development rather than being confined to a single role. Like any organization, we’ve had our ups and downs. But the people and the commitment to continuous learning have remained consistent strengths. If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally, work with smart and passionate people, and be part of a culture that values collaboration and innovation, Thoughtworks is a great place to build your career.

Cons

None that I can think of right now.
