Client based projects can sometimes become demanding. If you do not set your career path one can feel lost in the sea.

People are nice, helpful and supportive and full of knowledge. Company culture is nice because of the people but management tries really hard to ruin it.

Thoughtworks is not the same anymore, it is changing most of its policies for what it was known for, because of that it is loosing top talents. The base pay very low as compared to market standard.

In short it's a dicey game, if you get a good project, it's a good company, if you got a bad project it's the worst company

The lumos ( performance process) involves 2 managers and is horrible. They talk a lot about culture, but the ground reality is different at least I found that and my opinion could be wrong since I was laid off.
