The Employee Experience

Our values of trust, inclusion, and resilience form the foundation of our employee experience. These values are expressed in four unique ways.

Critically Committed

Our dedicated mission of defending children from sexual exploitation and abuse is our top priority and the driving force behind everything we do.

Whole-istically Human

There is humanity in our mission, in how we treat each other, in our lives, in our work, and in our culture of wellness, care, and compassion.

Transformational Tech

We are an unstoppable force—resting but never quitting. Constantly improving, challenging, adapting, and solving problems with technology and programs that drive positive change in children’s lives.

Purposeful
Growth

Combining our organizational stability with teamwork and passion, we create a foundation for individuals to become better versions of themselves together.

Our Culture

We take immense pride and satisfaction in working on a mission that protects children. The work we do everyday drives tangible and meaningful results. Although this requires resilience, we add levity to our day-to-day by fostering a supportive work environment where every person is afforded the space to work hard and rest well.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Making DEIB our priority.

We believe that building a culture where Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging are woven into the fabric of our organization is vital to our mission. Thorn is committed to building a diverse team where there is equitable opportunity for growth, inclusive ways of working, and where every team member can feel a true sense of belonging as they bring their whole selves to this work.

Wellness
commitment

Equipped for the journey.

We foster an environment of wellness, care, and compassion. Our employees’ personal and professional wellbeing is key to our strong and resilient workforce. Supporting our team with wellness groups, individual coaching, and a connected community full of compassionate colleagues is vital to the sustainability of our work.

FLEXIBLE
WORK MODEL

Work that works with you.

As a remote-only organization since our inception in 2012, we’ve mastered how to create a connected culture and community that embraces teamwork and collaboration. We value and recognize that our human experiences—family, health, adventure—are important and necessary. We provide the autonomy and flexibility to succeed both individually and collectively.

“After three years Thorn continues to be my dream job that I wake up excited for every morning. It is the rare intersection of cutting-edge technology, wonderful and passionate people, and a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.”

— David S, Sr. Data Scientist
