ThoughtWorks 
I love working for ThoughtWorks. I've just come back from the UK away-day and being the worlds most easily motivated/inspired person I'm obviously pretty psyched (and the fact that I won a bottle of Champagne, a box of chocs and a Who Wants to be a Millionaire game has nothing to do with it... well not _much_). But I've felt like this for ages, even when the work itself wasn't so good. My current project however really rocks - a great team of ThoughtWorkers, a truly Agile approach and a customer who really wants to be part of the process - it's pretty sweet.

The best thing about ThoughtWorks are the other ThoughtWorkers. In my experience ThoughtWorkers are positive, smart and keen to do the right thing and they've got a kind of personal integrity which builds trust and confidence. And this goes right the way through the company: in Operations, in top management (and I've never seen anywhere with a flatter management structure), the developers, analysts, PMs - everywhere. Just recently I got some very positive feedback about something I never thought I would get recognition for in the workplace and it's things like that that make me so positive about this place.

Then again I tend to be positive about everything. So don't just take my word for it.

Or his.
