ThoughtWorks Reviews
Reviews by ThoughtWorks graduate employees
pros
- Great community, interesting work, amazing opportunities to work in different cities around Australia and abroad. The graduate training took place in India, and I got to be a part of a global experience.
- Flat organisational structure, trust, progressiveness.
- Training budget, Flat structure, mobile & internet allowance
- Travel, variety, colleagues
- The awesome people I have around me to learn from.
cons
- Uncertainty around travel
- Strong opinions can mean some heated debates
- With so many interesting things happening and events to go to, I have to pace myself and not just do everything because there isn’t enough time in a day.
- Very strong opinionated people.
What insiders say about…
I work at my client which at the moment is a finance company in a team with other people from ThoughtWorks as well as the client. I get experience consulting as well as developing software. We often pair which means two people work at one computer which is great for learning, shared context and makes work more fun. I am often learning new things and working in technologies I haven’t used before which is great for keeping me interested and also relevant. Of course as a consultancy ThoughtWorks cannot to in control of everything at the client site, but they do everything they can to help me to be comfortable and successful. I have always had more senior people on my team to learn from and never had to work mandatory overtime.
The culture of ThoughtWorks is one of the main aspects of why I love it so much. ThoughtWorks has a flat structure and this is both during work hours and after. When I have been working in other states, people have always been keen to organise trips to local attractions and other exciting events throughout the week.
Application, phone interview, assignment, aptitude tests, technical interview, cultural interview, presentation, pairing interview.
Know your stuff. Be genuine and enthusiastic.
Very flexible 8 hrs a day give or take
Book allowance, Phone and Internet allowance.
I don’t feel that I’m being managed or have a manager within ThoughtWorks. I just have people who I can go to for help with different things and support. I have a primary mentor as well as many other individuals who mentor me as less formally. I receive feedback and can request more at any time. I feel I am praised often and have access to a lot of internal communications. I can participate or at least attend most of the meetings held by leadership teams and have frequent status reports on many elements of the inner workings of the business. I feel I can ask anything of anyone in this regard.
ThoughtWorks University - spend 5 weeks in India being trained on agile software development practices, consulting skills, and social involvement
