Pros
- Dynamic environment: get to work with different technologies. - Get to work with some smart people. - Faster advancement in grades: you can get seniors with only 3 years experience. - Good healthcare benefits and personal development budget. - Very inclusive workplace. - Lots of freedom. - Lots of free snacks and food. - TW seems to still hold a good reputation for outsiders.
Cons
- Low pay compared to market: many people leave and then return to get a higher salary because the pay increases are very little each year. - Lots of office politics: do not expect to advance if you do not know anyone. Lots of senior people are only there because of their internal connections. - Recent hiring has lowered their standards: TW seem to be hiring just to fill numbers. Seems like there is a lot of unnecessary hiring when there are always a lot of people on the 'beach' i.e. not on projects. - Lots of smart people are leaving. - Leniency has meant a lot of people have started to slack and not be as motivated. - Lack of communication and structure/processes: everyone has a different understanding of processes in place. - Staffing decisions are made last minute: very unorganised staffing procedures. Also don't expect to have much say in where you are going unless you are very senior or know people. - Not as they advertise: there is not as much work in social justice or disrupting technology as they claim. - TW does not live up to its reputation anymore.
