The company culture is amazing. It's an organisation where you can grow from zero to hero as a developer. Nothing to dislike about the work culture. The quality of work is second to none in the market.

Skill development - Excellent

Dislikes

The management should focus more on employee retention and overall compensation, instead of just going in the market and hiring freshers. Reputation is built by the people working in the company. If compensation is not matching the market standards, the reputation will also go down in no time.

No hikes. The base pay is also very low as compared to market standard. The LUMOS cycle is ridiculous. The upper management do not have any clarity about the direction in which TW is driving.

Company culture is excellent, there is no hierarchy, you get to work on the projects directly and pair with senior folks on regular basis. Work life balance is more than good.

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. Working hours is flexible Unlimited sick leaves There are resources available for skill development and learning. But when you ask a project as per your learning aspirations then they will back out.

... 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. They keep on postponing hikes. And this year 2023, they are not even giving hikes. Management needs to improve and be transparent with their employees. Performance metric - Lumos is the worst, it doesn't add any value to be honest. They have fired and layed off a good amount of their employees. If the project work is not good they don't consider your request to move to another project. There is no flexibility of choosing a project based on your learning aspirations (earlier it was there) Thoughtworks used to be one of the best places to work, but from past couple years it is becoming yet another service based company

Salary Negotiation in an interview

Hi, I have had a first round of interview with the company. And mentioned my salary expectations as 15- 20% from my previous LPA. But after that I feel like I have undervalued my expectations. Being in the field for 9 years with the required skill, considering the market and the prospect company is a well known builder, i should have asked more. Anyway a face to face interview is scheduled next week. How to ask them a higher salary from what I have mentioned earlier. And how much I can ask more. Please help. Thanks in advance.
