Tech firms have laid off thousands of workers recently as they brace for a period of lower demand, high interest rates and macroeconomic instability. "These changes were necessary to support the future growth of our business," a spokesperson for the company said. Chicago, Illinois-based Thoughtworks, which helps firms digitize their operations, has more than 12,500 employees working across 18 countries.
In its latest earnings report on Tuesday, Thoughtworks forecast first-quarter revenue decline of 5% to 5.5%. Analysts are expecting it to decrease by 2.3%, according to Refinitiv data. Shares of the company were down 3.3% to $7.12.
