Through the “Chengfeng Plan,” we provide employees with the opportunity to transfer jobs and work overseas to experience life in other Thoughtworks countries. In addition, we offer all employees unlimited access to online learning via Udemy and an annual personal development budget for training programs, conferences, books and more to keep you up to date with the latest tech trends and industry knowledge.

Community sharing

At Thoughtworks, we have dozens of diverse and rich communities that come together to discuss topics such as technology, DEI and even personal finance. You can join the communities that you’re interested in or start your own community with like-minded Thoughtworkers to create extraordinary impact together.
