Pros
Good set of skilled people to hang out with Work-Life Balance Snacks and free lunch. Good place to start your career. No manager to report to. Conferences/geek nights to get involved in.
Cons
This company is a no-go for laterals. Operations team biased to "long term thoughtworkers". Doesn't give any heed to the background of laterals when they come in and treats them as second class citizens when compared to other Thoughtworkers who have been for a while. Chairman is on an aggressive incubation of left wing communists into the company and asks open discriminatory questions like "how many brahmins are there in this office". Hinted at bringing in reservations while hiring. The kind of projects that come now are no more like before and needs no smart people like they want to hire. Most of the top Indian management/Senior devs are already on their way out with indifference's with the Stalinist Chairman. Compensation is sub standard. Few of the PM's have their own coterie of people they give priorities w.r.t travel etc. Blurry career path after being a Lead Consultant.
