      Pros

      Working with intelligent people is amazing, and TW definitely has that. Great ideas are always floating around, and every so often, they get implemented. I learned a great deal from my former collegues that have helped me further my professional career.

      Cons

      Most of the sr. management has become apathetic to the cause and mission of the company. Projects are dull for the most part. Investment in internal infrastructure is non-existent. Most, if not all consultants and internal employees are underpaid relative to other consulting companies. Investment in the "rock stars" is minimal. The environment started to become quite adversarial when I was leaving...

      Pros

      - there are some brilliant people who you can learn a lot from - it has a creative environment which encourages ideas, discussion and feedback - there is a very practical results focus - ThoughtWorks embraces agile and best practice in a open-minded, pragmatic fashion - diversity is encouraged, and the company is eager to give back to the community

      Cons

      - they're having trouble figuring out how to provide a workable career progression path - the allocation of people to projects can be fickle and unpredictable - the work itself is often not incredibly interesting - pay isn't great compared to an equivalent role somewhere else, but there are some nice benefits

      It's not like it used to be

      Pros

      If you are lucky your project team mates will be fun. The brand is still good for now at least.

      Cons

      Used to be that you could make a difference, but now you're just another cog in the machine. Hired in a bunch of more junior people in order to increase margins, but means that there are less people to learn from and the reason for going to TW in the first place - ie to work with the best and the brightest is no longer there. There are favorites and different rules for different people. Senior managers tend to get paid vast salaries and have no accountability, this can be very frustrating when you are traveling weekly for little money.
