Summary

Ci&T is a midtier Brazilian systems integrator that stands out in a highly competitive business by attracting and developing creative application development professionals. The firm's corporate culture promotes shared purpose, autonomy, and a commitment to skills mastery. The result is a highly engaged population of professionals hungry for new opportunities to engage in collaborative problem solving. What sets Ci&T apart from other high-performance cultures we've examined is its entrepreneur program, which embraces moonlighting developers, allowing them to develop new ideas within the safe confines of their existing employer while keeping a partial ownership stake in any potential value that an idea generates. The result is a corporate culture that hangs onto its best and brightest talent while growing into a sizable player in the application outsourcing business.
