Pros

What pros I can see is the onboard package with 4 mil VND for buying home setup, hybrid working

Cons

• They just don’t want you to move from Junior to Senior level. The grade change process is a joke, with no clear criteria to determine if you are qualified, have enough experience, or are ready for the change. • What you can do at TW is everything and keep all evidence for review, but they will always find a reason to reject you. • The People Team is unprofessional and lacks knowledge of labor laws, and the process is inconsistent between countries. • Performance appraisals are a joke. They assign a Performance Partner from another project and country, someone who has no knowledge of your performance. • There is no reasonable explanation for layoffs; they are not transparent and keep everything secret. • They claim to promote diversity and equality, but people from Thailand only protect Thais, leaving out people from other countries. • Constructive feedback from this company is also a joke.

Pros

I've had a great experience building my career at Thoughtworks. One of the things that stands out most is the culture. It's collaborative, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely want to help each other succeed. Thoughtworks has also provided me with meaningful opportunities for career growth. I've been encouraged to take on new challenges, develop new skills, and explore different career paths. Leaders have been approachable and supportive, and I've always felt empowered to own my development rather than being confined to a single role. Like any organization, we’ve had our ups and downs. But the people and the commitment to continuous learning have remained consistent strengths. If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally, work with smart and passionate people, and be part of a culture that values collaboration and innovation, Thoughtworks is a great place to build your career.

Cons

None that I can think of right now.
