ThoughtWorks is hiring. I'm not big on using my blog for this type of stuff, but this time I'm being selfish. I want to work with the best and I'm willing to do a little company promotion to make it happen.
As usual, we are looking for talented Ruby, Java, or C# developers.
I'll skip the long pitch and get to the top 3 reasons to join:
1. Learn/work with the best. At ThoughtWorks you'll get opportunities to work some of the best developers in the industry. In my first 3 months at ThoughtWorks I was given the opportunity to contribute content to one of Martin Fowler's upcoming books.
2. Flat corporate structure. A few months ago I had an idea for the business. I pitched it to a few colleagues, who also liked it. At that point I called up our CEO to get his perspective. ThoughtWorks is approaching 900 people world wide, and yet the CEO still takes the time to talk to anyone with an idea.
3. Interesting work. Whatever you are looking for, we probably have something that will please you. If you want to work in the US, China, India, London, Australia, or Canada we have that. If you want health-care, banking, retail, energy, or insurance, we have that also. If you want Ruby, Java, or C#, we have projects for you. In practice you generally have to pick 2 of location, domain, or technology, but it's nice to know you have options. And, each new project you can change which two are important to you.
While I'm at it, let's address the top 2 excuses for not joining:
1. You don't have enough experience. This simply isn't true. We hire talented developers at every level. In fact, we even hire college grads with no experience. If you have aptitude, a good attitude and integrity, we have a place for you.
2. You don't know where to start. You can start by sending me a resume: my first name at thoughtworks dot com
