Pros

- Lots to learn, some projects are really good. - personal growth is owned by the individual. - great work life balance.

Cons

- Low salary, huge disparity between new joiners and people who've been here. -People don't have an option but to leave after a few years irrespective of their performance, contributions or value to their current assignment. No offers given to retain old employees. - Best to avoid working for a promotion because you won't get a raise and promotions require a lot of work. Best to prepare for interviews instead and jump. - twks stock price has been consistently falling since IPO. - aggressive hiring, low confidence in hiring standards. - Lumos is too much work and not worth it. Feels like a school assignment and forced upon. - Ambiguous and biased travel policy. How do some people get international travel and some don't? - Very different standards across the globe. Indian vs. Germany for example. - The cult of thoughtworks. - Social impact, gender diversity and inclusion is just a marketing strategy, don't fall for it.
