Who we are:

Equal Experts is a product software development consultancy with over 1,000 consultants globally. We work with technology leaders facing complex business challenges.

We take as much pride in our people, culture and work-life balance as we do in making better software. Collaborative, entrepreneurial and dedicated to problem-solving, we bring the step change our customers need to sustain innovation.

3 ways we're different:

• We're not just a consultancy. We're a community. Our knowledge-sharing, problem-solving culture benefits our consultants and our clients.
• All our people are highly experienced. Our consultants typically have at least 10 years' experience of solving difficult business problems - and often much more.
• We invest in a grown-up culture. Our people have the freedom to stay hands on, and the autonomy to do their work well. 

'Grown-ups' is shorthand for the kind of person - the kind of attitude - we look to work alongside.

It summarises the responsible, self-disciplined people that exhibit the depth of experience and the personal behaviours required to create high-performing, ego-free teams.

Please take a good look at our values - which cover our approach to technical and delivery practices, as well as our consulting practices. If you find yourself nodding along and you're keen to be part of a diverse community of tech practitioners, we'd love to hear from you.
