ThoughtWorks is a global IT consultancy trusted by many of the world's leading businesses with their most complex and critical systems.
We deliver consulting grounded in delivery expertise, build custom applications and help all manner of organisations create sustainable competitive advantage.
Today we employ over 1800 people across the globe. With a reputation as leaders and experts in the industry, we've become a destination employer for like-minded people with a passion to improve how businesses design, build and evolve software. We are very selective, hiring only 1 of every 100 aspirants (1 of 200 in some areas). This means we have equally capable people wherever we are located.
Whether we're building a new custom system for a client, fixing a project that's tied up in knots, or helping to make a software development organisation more productive, ThoughtWorks delivers.
Our customers start seeing benefits in weeks, not months or years, a radical change for some clients and partners caught up in the inertia of working as they've always worked.
Founded in 1993, today we have offices in the United States, UK, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Singapore, South Africa and China and we work with clients from each location.
