About our software
Our focus is on business slides (as opposed to more artful, open-ended applications) because they offer great potential for automation of the layout tasks traditionally performed by PowerPoint users themselves. There are plenty of challenges, from a solid understanding of what makes a good layout, to algorithms that produce an aesthetically pleasing output fast enough for interactive slide design, to an intuitive and unobtrusive user interface that supports our original approach to slide layout, to solid technical solutions for automatic bug reporting and updates, to compatibility with third-party software on the computers of over a million users.
What's it like to work at think-cell?
Since think-cell was founded in 2002, we’ve been making the creation of PowerPoint presentations easier, faster, and more enjoyable for over 25,000 companies (and over 1,000,000 users) worldwide. Our add-in is the #1 charting software for PowerPoint, and that’s because of our exceptional people and their skills.
Because we are highly profitable, we follow our own strategy and do not have to make compromises regarding code quality and beauty. Our software is leased, leading to continuous feedback and improvement. Rushed, marketing-driven deadlines are unknown to us because we only release the software when it’s ready.
At think-cell, we believe that a healthy work-life-balance is a key factor in promoting happiness and productivity. We do not work at night or on weekends, yet offer a very competitive salary.
We provide the best equipment money can buy and offer all the perks you can think of. We know that every team member's needs are different, and we try to meet these as best we can.
Our CTO Arno maintains a close working relationship with all of our developers. Together, they review code, troubleshoot, and brainstorm. But sometimes a developer's solution is already perfect from the get-go. In this case, it is directly incorporated into think-cell's code.
