Warning – Humans at Work

If you’ve spent any time on this site, you know we believe that people are central to creating great software. We value not only technological expertise and innovation, but personal integrity and enthusiasm. At ThoughtWorks, you get a chance to do great work, alongside some of the brightest people you have ever met, without the typical frustrations of big company politics.

What makes us different? We’re out to build a community of software experts, not just provide a one or two-year stepping stone for job-hoppers, so we have a different philosophy of hiring and career development. We don’t hire large numbers of inexperienced people and filter them out each year with an 'up or out' approach. We think that leaves something to be desired, and quite frankly it doesn’t fit with our values – for either ThoughtWorkers or our customers.

Instead, we hire carefully. And if you become a ThoughtWorker, we tailor a path that is uniquely right for you. We don’t believe in boilerplate career plans with pre-defined roles. If you have what it takes, we want you to follow your passion. Whether that means moving towards management, immersing yourself deeply in a specialty, becoming a cross-discipline general practitioner, or something else entirely.
