Reviews
Not on a project at the moment, so focusing on personal development, and helping out with various tasks. (Would prefer to be on a project.)
It varies, sometimes I am on a client, which involves me working with a team of other thoughtworkers or client staff to complete work for the project. We try to use test driven development as much as possible & all the ussual agile practices. When not on client I'm on 'the beach', which is a space to update your info/goals/admin, learn (self driven, or via courses / books), help the sales team or with a client pitch, help with interviews, some low priority beach projects & anything else that pops up.
When you are staffed on a project with a client, things are generally good. Though, over work is common as you almost have two roles. 1 - your client role, and 2 - your ThoughtWorks role. Sometimes managing 2 sets of calendars, and 2 sets of emails gets a bit stressful.

Pros and cons of working at Thoughtworks
Pros
Awesome culture, everyone is super friendly and understanding.
Diverse culture
They look out for my experience with them from training to working, and they work hard to keep a good culture at work.
The people are amazing. Very friendly and smart, very open to feedback, and always willing to help.
They seem to really treat employees as people, they will work with you if you're in need of support rather than punishing you. Also they do some work pro-bono / discounted for social justice projects, so it feels less like a heartless corporation & can really help add meaning to your work. They have Transition leave for trans people & understand the reality of the medical necessity of certain procedures & ensure you have time to recover if you do take paid leave for it.
Caring and supportive culture. Everyone is willing to share and help out.
Cons
As the nature of the work is consulting, uncertainty in terms of what/where you will be working.
Teams tend to be siloed within client accounts and the remote nature of work in Australia has made it more difficult to build relationships and collaborate across teams.
Starting during a pandemic and not being able to meet fellow grads and colleagues in person.
In between projects - when you are waiting to be staffed. During that time, there is a lack of structure and you generally get pulled in to do internal work that may not align with what you want to learn.
The flat structure can make it a little confusing knowing who to talk to. Some of the clients are hard to work with, or work in industries I wouldn't consider the most moral like Banking or Oil, but those are minimal & you can opt-out for working with them.
