The fallout from the economic downturn continued this week. Thoughtworks, a major software development consultancy, laid off 500 workers.
The Chicago-based firm is a major developer in the Bay Area, building software products and functionality from its San Francisco office. Thoughtworks also has several other offices around the world.
The staff cut was confirmed by the company, but specific details about the layoff have not been released.
While Twitter's latest layoff of 200 grabbed headlines, other significant cuts hit San Francisco, as well: Cerebral trimmed 285 employees and Eventbrite laid off 56 workers. Both companies cited workforce reorganization as the reason for the layoffs.
The Standard tracked 660 employees cut from SF companies this week.
