Pros
-Some very competent people around, from which you can learn many things, if you have the opportunity. -Good trainings from time to time including a budget for personal development.
Cons
-local company acquired by Thoughtworks, using the brand for attracting employees, but very very far from being like working for Thoughtworks (judged from the interaction had with colleagues in other countries). -being a consultancy (more outsourcing for the Romanian branch), they depend on projects. They hire you without knowing for sure if they actually have a suitable project for you or if their client accepts you on the project. This creates a large pool of people on the "bench", where you have to wait (in some cases months) and maybe contribute to some internal initiatives. If there are no projects or if clients do not accept you on the projects...guess what happens? ...exactly: you are laid off...and if you are "lucky" they lay you off with 1 week before probation period ends, to give you "a lot" of time to search for a new opportunity. Saddest part is, the management is aware that this might happen when they hire you! They basically exploit the law in their favor. This happened not only to me but to other colleagues, some of which came from very solid companies, some changed careers, trusting the Thoughtworks brand behind this company. Overall, probably the worst experience you can have in your career.
