There's a real culture of Agile and dynamic thinking amongst the developers here, and most weeks there's a lunchtime session from either an evangelical department member or a leading industry figure. Innovation is encouraged and technology is used to drive solutions, not confine them to a complex framework. All of this within guidelines and standards, but rather than having oodles of documentation we're making advances to enforce them through automation policies (CI).

I'm the technical lead of a dedicated development team working directly with the Motion Gallery business team and since moving to new offices we sit with them. This has been really great in focusing development efforts, letting the business team see how we work, and generally being very open with each other. It's broken down the traditional 'them' and 'us' barriers and helps us be more responsive.

I joined BBC Worldwide in April 2001 and started off supporting a royalty payment system. This is a third party application written by a company in LA. I was liasing with our users in the London office and with the company in LA providing support and assistance as necessary. I am currently working in the Application Support Team within the bigger applications and web team. My team is responsible for supporting many of the wide range of applications used within the different business areas of BBC Worldwide. Issues are raised and we analyse and fix the problem within an agreed timescale.

I especially enjoy the customer facing aspect of my job and have recently attended a TV Trade Show in Cannes as the IT on site support representative. I also attend BBC Showcase (BBC Worldwide's largest event held annually at Brighton in February) and provide software support and demonstrations of our digital application to delegates from around the world.

Both professionally and socially the team within which I work at BBC Worldwide is fun, interesting and exciting. Outside of work BBC Worldwide offers a lot of opportunities to socialise through various courses and activities. I am currently a member of the BBC Netball Club and participate in various other sports. I also volunteer to help out annually on the live transmission night of Children in Need at Television Centre.

I started here in 2002 during the first dotcom boom, and the work we do was exciting then and it's still exciting now. It's the no.1 place to work in development right now. There is a real pride in the craft of developing software that's both aspirational and inspirational.

I work mostly on TV and online rights systems using agile project management processes and test driven development. There is constant communication and feedback from all other members of the project team (BA's, Project managers, etc.). I have pair programming sessions with a the software development coach, and although I've been a developer for ten years and at BBC worldwide for eight I learn something new about my profession every day.

Socially and professionally BBC Worldwide really is one of the best office environments to work in. There is a really supportive, college-like feel to the department that is both nurturing and fun. If you're stuck there is always someone to help, there is very little back biting or fiefdoms and a real 'we are in this together' spirit.

I am a Development Manager working with a number of agile development projects that increasingly utilise an emerging Enterprise Integration Platform.

Having gained excellent commercial and technical experience within Financial Services, I was initially drawn to BBC Worldwide by the ethos and values, but was struck by the honesty, transparency and infectious energy of the delivery teams collaborating within a supportive environment.

Common to many technology organisations, there are many challenges, that, coupled with current growing pains, poses significant problems that need to be addressed, whilst continually delivering increasing business value.

It is an exciting time for the media industry globally and with the very public onset of convergence. Technology is always moving at a pace, and the latest advances in the formulation of a Service Orientated Environment (SOE) incorporates significant advances for provisioning content. The Content Contribution Platform (CCP) that is the backbone for many well known projects such as BBC iPlayer and BBC Motion Gallery represents an example of the many great opportunities to work at the leading edge, innovate at every opportunity and be the best you can be.
