Pros

* Great culture * Friendly and talent engineers * Nice office

Cons

I am sharing my experience at Thoughtworks to help new joiners be aware of potential challenges. To be transparent, I was laid off from Thoughtworks Singapore in less than a month after joining. This was an incredibly difficult time, especially considering the current challenging tech job market. For someone with a family and child to support, the sudden layoff was particularly distressing. While Thoughtworks is known for its strong culture, the decision to hire and then lay off employees within such a short period feels irresponsible and has caused significant harm.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you highlighting our culture. During our recent reorganization to become a leaner organization and in preparation for going private again, we took some steps that may have unintentionally led to some challenges. However, we remain optimistic about the future and are committed to creating a stable and supportive environment for our employees. If you'd like to share more or discuss this further, please reach out directly to Sanyam Sharma at sanyam.sharma@thoughtworks.com.
