Did you know that globally women make up less than 20% of the developer community and are more likely to leave the industry before they reach their full potential? We’re on a mission to change that.
ThoughtWorks is not comfortable reflecting industry norms for women in IT, and we are working actively to change that. We are trying to model what the IT industry should be like, and we’re doing so for a variety of reasons: because it's right in redressing historic discrimination, because it results in a better and higher performing workplace for ourselves and our clients, and because we want to show the rest of the industry what a highly functioning, passionate, diverse and representative group of people can achieve.
ThoughtWorks is a global IT consultancy with a very different approach. We employ an autonomous, self-management work culture, with very little hierarchy. This approach encourages people to take ownership and accountability, and to be curious. It requires a "trust first" attitude, which supports a creative mindset.
The Work
Our teams work on a huge variety of projects; you could be helping a retail giant rethink their technology strategy one day and working on an app that reunites families in case of emergencies the next (have a look at our RapidFTR project in the Philippines here
The Benefits
We're proud to have one of the best paid parental leave schemes in Australia (18 weeks full pay for the primary carer) on top of the government contributions you might be eligible for and we won't ask you to work for us for 12 months before you can be considered "eligible" for that. All ThoughtWorkers receive home internet/mobile phone allowance, an annual training and books/publications budget plus their own company Amex for expense purposes. We have a comprehensive relocation package (covering flights, temporary accommodation on arrival in Australia and shipping your possessions). Where applicable we will sponsor your visa, and ensure your family or partner can join you. Our global mobility team will be on hand to support you throughout the process and you’ll be in safe hands with them!
The Support
We get that people have lives outside of work and try to support you in the best possible way; whether that's looking at job sharing or organising family friendly social events. We firmly believe that investing in our people is the key to our ongoing success. We're proud to have been awarded the Employer of Choice for Women and have been voted number 1 Graduate Employer two years in a row now.
