Pros

The work style is still better than other Indian IT services company Flexible work timings and Work from home options No restrictive policies or processes Can run your own pet projects Good place for developers to learn and showcase their talents Good office infrastructure and benefits like free breakfast and lunch, snacks, coffee, juice etc

Cons

Coterie run by office principal in Chennai office and his political outlook for everything from projects to appraisals People champion in Chennai office is a disgrace to the company Bad projects nowadays which does not give developers much to work with other than listening to clients whimsical requests In pursuit of growth, they have gone behind large enterprisey clients. So no cool projects or small projects in Chennai

Pros

At times you might get sufficient free time to research and gain expertise in an area

Cons

All these comments are specific to Thoughtworks Pune haven't been to other offices. 1. Not transparent 2. Most of the projects not good, a few of them are not even agile 3. Most of the senior staff has left 4. After getting hired you could be staffed on crapy projects where you will forget what you already know 5. You might even not get to write code for months, might have to work on drag and drop tools 6. Just another services company, billing is what matters 7. Spineless management and leaders (can't even stand for themselves)(will run away leaving you behind in difficult situations) 8. With good seniors gone what remain is a lot of great politicians 9. People are made to beg for project change

Pros

-None If you are an engineer. -Best Place to work for an HR or Admin

Cons

-People Leader betrayed employees. Only the hopelessly naïve would mistake an HR person to be an employee advocate. People Leader is a top-ranking company executive who gets paid to oppress employees, not a friend of the working man or woman. Workers, by definition, are oppressed to some degree. -The company was hiring at the same time it was marching people out -Management kept people who were well-connected, including obvious incompetents, while marching out good employees
