Pros

Sick leave policy is good

Cons

These experiences are based on Pune office. People have delusional arrogant belief in their abilities simply because they are 'thoughtworker'. If you have to succeed here, toot your own horn ;) Feedback culture is less about genuine feedback and more about back biting and politics. Most positive reviews are from campus hires, who genuinely get good training but they don't know pain of lateral hires. If you are campus hire, it's best company for you, otherwise just don't join this company. You are supposed to fit in a mould of ideal "thoughtworker" anything different is treated with suspicion. All kinds of diversity is welcome here except for diversity of opinion on political stance, the company has a liberal bias and if you don't agree with them it's better you don't speak up. It can incur concequences ;)

Pros

Competitive Pay, Good facilities, Cutting edge tech stack

Cons

[1] ThoughtWorks Feedback culture is more about escalation culture than the feedback culture. [2] Do not join Mumbai or Pune office. Worst culture I have even seen in my whole professional life. [3] ThoughtWorks secretly fires many people based on mindless feedbacks given by coworkers [4] Seasoned ThoughtWorkes will make your life hell if you can not meet their expectations and eventually you will get fired. [5] Do not join this organization during these uncertain Covid days. You might loose your job anytime. Please be careful and choose your next move wisely. [6] Overall ThoughWorks folks are technically very good but extremely arrogant and always ready to escalate even the small mistake.
