People & Culture | Thoma Bravo

At Thoma Bravo, we believe that people working together makes all the difference in the world. We pride ourselves on hiring and retaining exceptional talent to build partnerships for success. We have a demonstrated track record of excellence that results from our differential approach, high standards and entrepreneurial spirit.

Our team is focused on continuing to advance our dynamic culture and develop young talent into future leaders. We offer longer-term career growth opportunities, challenging work and a supportive environment throughout all levels of the organization – with a promise to create something significant.

We define our culture in 3 ways:

Performance-Oriented

Sharing knowledge to drive results

Open-Minded

Welcoming fresh ideas and perspectives

Investing in our people

Our culture and origin story are centered on the values of mentorship, entrepreneurship and empowerment. Founded on a mentor-mentee relationship between Carl Thoma and Orlando Bravo, the firm prides itself on continuously fostering the talents of junior members and treating them as Thoma Bravo’s future leaders – from day one.

We recognize our talent as a key driver of success and look to develop our employees' natural skillsets and leadership abilities. We keep our investment teams small to give individuals more responsibilities, autonomy and room for innovation. We make it a point to hire right and accelerate from within; in fact, many of our partners started at Thoma Bravo as associates.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Our human capital is our most valuable asset

The collective sum of our employees' individual differences, life experiences, age, innovation, self-expression, capabilities and talent is the fabric of our culture and a key driver of our reputation and success.

We believe that an inclusive culture forms the core of a collaborative and innovative work environment – one that allows all employees to reach their highest potential. In recruitment, we seek to attract and hire candidates with a wide variety of experiences and perspectives who can tangibly contribute to the firm’s mission while also successfully growing their own careers.

OUR COMMUNITY

Thoma Bravo employees are committed to the communities in which they live and work, and giving back is an important firm value. Employees are encouraged to make a difference through the firm’s Charitable Giving Program, through which employees can have an even greater impact on the organizations they care about most.

In addition to financial support, employees regularly come together for volunteer events across our offices – both on-site and in the community. Thoma Bravo supports a wide range of nonprofit organizations through a variety of sponsorships and volunteer activities, as well as awareness- and fund-raising events.
