Thoughtworks reviews

- Blind leading the blind into a pit of bad decisions - Leaders at all levels take no responsibility for their actions. It's someone else's fault, a "macro economic environment", COVID, the "rest of the industry is suffering too" - Leaders at the highest level somehow got to keep their jobs through three layoffs, some even got promoted and continue to get more responsibility in spite of not being able to say in one sentence what Thoughtworks actually does for work - Profits mean nothing without "growth" - investors will always be first and if you think you'll get an ounce of budget you're just being flat out lied to - Lies, lies and more lies - Greed, greed and more greed - Cutting, closing offices, delaying payments, moving money around and playing all the games financially to look better than they are - Pay is the worst - a tiny pay rise in 3 years and then told to feel like we're special because we actually received something. The industry is paying 10-20% higher than TW.

It took me 2 years of therapy to understand how I was being used. This company underpays and over works people. The company philosophy was once described to me by someone who was a senior leader as “the illusion of democracy”. The recruiting organization is very misguided and has poor leadership.
