Hi folks, how is thoughtworks as an organisation?
Asking because I don't know much about it and have received recruiter's call today. Currently I am working in Deloitte. How is thoughtworks hikes, wlb, does it provide any benefits apart from fixed pay? My research gives me a mixed review: some say it's good, some say that thoughtworks is not stable enough like big 4 or other organisations. Pls help Thoughtworks Deloitte
What is the culture like, type of work and reputation of Capco in the Data & Analytics space?
I have some good ex colleagues who moved over there and also looked up on LinkedIn and see lots of seemingly smart and accomplished people in their D&A team in the UK.
I'll ask my ex colleagues too, but wanted to see if people here have any opinion or information on this too.
TIA

You'll have good pay and career growth. But I'd be less optimistic of the work life balance.
Expect a lot of work but no life.
Sad reality. 😑
ZS 1,2: I see. I'm fine with the grind as long as the work is exciting and helps me grow in my career! I heard the work culture is pretty good with a lot of energy! So that's a plus too
Thanks mate! :P
ZS8 left but is still lurking here for FOMO reasons :)
Areyy nhi..FOMO nhi JOMO hai.. 🤣
Actually, I haven't changed my details.. F&F k baad karunga.. 😅
FB & LinkedIn pe to hum madad karte hain... LinkedIn pe to kaafi charcha mein rahte hain!😊
Also, the bonus typically is 15%, on paper they give 10%
If you're into Machine Learning, then go for BIG 4 or Tech Companies first. You may get more than 20 LPA in current market.
If you don't have a better offer, then join ZS but be very vocal regarding the kind of assignments ( such that it adds value & learning for your profile) My personal experience was pretty bad w.r.t staffing that's why giving you a heads up.
I'm non technical, into project management.
I recently left ZS!
Hey ZS 8, can u share the details where u went. Looking for change and might need u to refer.
Yes, this is a decent offer. You are getting what a ZS consultant gets. The only con is work life balance. Rest everything is super
You would get more than 10% bonus assuming your performance is good
I recently joined and in my offer letter also it was mentioned 10% but I received more than that ! :)
Sure a good offer. I can vouch for ML work + there is already huge demand from various clients in the space. DM me in case you have any question.
For 1st year it will be definitely less than 10% and going forward it can be more than 10% depends on project profit and performance.
Growth will be good, but do understand that ZS is a pharma consulting and not a tech firm. If you are looking for core technical work then I don’t think ZS is the place. We do lot of configuration work and quote it as technical. If you are looking for Tech + Management role then u can go ahead with it.
DM me if you want to discuss it further
OP - Clarify this before joining. I have seen software developers just simply working on excel and creating ppt. Don’t go with assumptions here
Can anyone tell how much time ZS take to give the feedback on the interview.
