Our Rule of Twelve

Our numbers may drive us, but our values define us. Our strict commitment to our cultural values keeps us honest, creative and motivated. The people are the most integral asset of our company, so our culture reflects that. We stress communication and transparency because a team not only functions better that way, it’s happier that way! These twelve values ensure that Rubicon Project is not just a place to work; it’s a place to innovate and inspire.

1. Innovation:  We invest our thinking and resources into change that will propel the industry and company forward.
2. Transparency: Knowledge is powerful.  Transparency keeps us honest.  We believe in the highest level of transparency possible with our team, investors and customers.
3. Active Communication: Communication makes or breaks relationships.  We will devote time and effort in making communication a priority.
4. Humility: While we enjoy winning, we will not let our success get to our head.
5. Respect: Team development is a top priority for us.  We hold each other in high regard and have zero tolerance for disrespectful behavior.
6. Community: We consider ourselves to be fortunate and believe in paying it forward to those in need.
7. Competition: We are driven to win and are highly competitive; externally not internally.
8. Pride: Personal pride in our work is the number one criteria for our team members.
9. Speed: We go fast but don’t hurry.
10. Do More with Less: Constantly find ways to do twice as much with half as much time, money, and resources.
11. Mistakes are OK: If we aren’t making mistakes, we aren’t moving fast enough.  Making mistakes is the key to innovating and learning.
12. Fun: We will celebrate our wins together, big and small.
