ThoughtWorks Orientation

I've taken a position as an "application developer" with ThoughtWorks US. I'll be based out of their Atlanta office. I'm in Chicago having been through two days of meetings with People Support (human resources ++ ), People Development ( training ++ ), accounting, recruiting, and a whole hose of others.

Our group of eight lateral-hire new hires is a diverse, intelligent and amazing bunch. I'm thrilled to be part of them. It's exciting to be working at what seems like the "next level" of professionals.

I knew ThoughtWorks would be great for me. Over the past two days, I've really become even more excited about the processes in place here. The company seems to genuinely want what's best for their people. While a majority of companies say that, I've actually seen the infrastructure over the last few days to make be believe that this company is absolutely determined to deliver.

Congrats on your move to ThoughtWorks (now several months ago, obviously). There's a very good chance I'll be joining you there in Atlanta; I've been told to expect the official offer on Monday. Is there anything you can tell me about the work you're doing and how things are going there? Feel free to email me at david at ruppconsulting dot com. Cheers!
