Attitude, Aptitude and Integrity

This is the tag line for Thoughtworks: Attitude, Aptitude and Integrity. It's printed on the back of all business cards.

As I was saying goodbye to a colleague who is moving on to another position, I told her that I felt that she exhibited these traits. I think that's a high compliment. Good luck Grace.

Thoughtworks is hiring

I work for Thoughtworks, a global IT consulting firm with offices in six countries (US, Canada, UK, Australia, India, China). We hire very good people to work on interesting/difficult problems.

We're hiring.

Most of our development is in Java, Ruby, and C# (with Ruby becoming more and more a staple of our most interesting gigs). We're looking for developers, testers, project managers, client principals, and probably sales folks.

Pluses of Thoughtworks:
- You'll probably not find a more competent/smart group of people in any other consulting company.
- We deliver working software using Agile software development approaches (pairing, TDD, etc.)
- Lots of travel (if you're single and want to see the world, we encourage travel to different countries)
- Amazing level of transparency in corporate activities and a flat organization.

Minuses:
- Lots of travel
