TAL's take
Thoughtworks is a highly respected global consultancy, and the role offers significant autonomy and technical leadership, though it is a client-facing consulting position.
The JD provides a clear definition of responsibilities, technical expectations, and the nature of the consulting work, though it is quite broad regarding specific tools.

Bench on Interview
Hi. I’m from WITCH and currently on bench although I’ve cleared all the certifications but have not been assigned to any project. I recently got a call from ThoughtWorks and the HR asked me if I have worked on projects and I said NO and then she asked me if I have been on bench I said yes. My question is what do I say in this scenario? As I want to exit the company because there are no projects, and the other company wants hands on experience.
