      Lots of talented, motivated people. Not so great work-life balance

      Pros

      Filled to the gunnels with talented, highly intelligent people. Always more to learn and someone to learn from. Opportunities to travel and work in other countries. Always on the cutting edge of new technology.

      Cons

      Consulting. Often for difficult clients in locations you wouldn't voluntarily visit. Travel, long hours. 'Staff augmentation' assignments on projects without much influence. Basically like being a contractor without the income of a contractor.

      Pros

      Working with intelligent people is amazing, and TW definitely has that. Great ideas are always floating around, and every so often, they get implemented. I learned a great deal from my former collegues that have helped me further my professional career.

      Cons

      Most of the sr. management has become apathetic to the cause and mission of the company. Projects are dull for the most part. Investment in internal infrastructure is non-existent. Most, if not all consultants and internal employees are underpaid relative to other consulting companies. Investment in the "rock stars" is minimal. The environment started to become quite adversarial when I was leaving...

      It's not like it used to be

      Pros

      If you are lucky your project team mates will be fun. The brand is still good for now at least.

      Cons

      Used to be that you could make a difference, but now you're just another cog in the machine. Hired in a bunch of more junior people in order to increase margins, but means that there are less people to learn from and the reason for going to TW in the first place - ie to work with the best and the brightest is no longer there. There are favorites and different rules for different people. Senior managers tend to get paid vast salaries and have no accountability, this can be very frustrating when you are traveling weekly for little money.
