WillowTree promotes a culture of makers who are passionately curious about their craft. We hire innovative, growth-minded talent and provide them with the reach and resources to achieve remarkable results. And we give them the autonomy to work in whatever way works best for them.
Our strength lies in the longevity of our cross-discipline teams, who not only work side-by-side on a project from concept to delivery, but are acknowledged as its experts. Decisions are made from within teams, not from the top down.
Mentorship at WillowTree is more than just a catchphrase—it’s the structural integrity of our team’s foundation.
WillowTree is a community of smart, talented people. Which might be intimidating—if those people weren’t also approachable, generous with their time, and straight up fun to be around.
From all-hands Q&As to open-forum Slack channels, we champion sharing ideas and asking tough questions. Our team-centric philosophy emphasizes building trust, receiving guidance, and clearing communication pathways at all levels of leadership.
All WillowTree team members are assigned both short- and long-term mentors who serve as sounding boards for project challenges, providers of radically candid feedback, and trusted guides on career paths forward.
We flex the limits of our skills to see what we can accomplish—for our clients and beyond.
While we are dedicated to helping our clients solve problems, our capabilities can reach even farther when we’re given time to invest in our own learning.
Team members are expected to utilize 85% of their time on client work, leaving an intentional window for other personal and WT-related goals. From social impact projects to professional development, these pursuits round out a work experience that’s unique, fulfilling, and less prone to burnout.
Doors at WillowTree are always, often literally, open. We foster an environment of learning by observation and participation: sit in on a team meeting, listen to a lunchtime lecture, or take part in a community-wide challenge. When we model curiosity and call upon ourselves to be both teachers and students, everyone gains.
When our teams reflect the people we serve, we can think bigger, collaborate more deeply, and solve more globally.
We aim to build teams with diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives to enhance problem solving and foster innovation. Through action-oriented initiatives, we are committed to creating an environment of inclusion—a place where every Tree can thrive.
We publish an annual Diversity & Equity report as a benchmark for transparent reporting and to track progress towards our inclusivity goals.
Our Employee Resource Groups offer spaces for team members with non-majority identities or experiences to connect. Through mission and goal setting, mentorship, and specific measurable outcomes, our ERGs are designed to affect positive change and create opportunities for company-wide support and accountability.
We are dedicated to contributing our resources to community-based organizations helping to make technology accessible to everyone—especially those who have been denied equal opportunities.
Through our Community Engagement program, each WT office partners with a local organization that works with youth from historically underrepresented groups with a focus on technology.. School visits, volunteer work, and community events offer ways for team members to get out and give back.
