OpenX Technologies Company Culture & Values

What values do you ideally want to see in an employer?

Open communication and transparency from leadership and to feel valued as an employee, like the company cares about me and my well being. I also think an element of empowering the employee — to share ideas, to elicit change and have the autonomy and courage to share those ideas and do so is very important.

How does your employer show a commitment to some (or all) of these?

A lot of this is less tangible but done by example from our leadership team. That trickles down to how other teams are led and managed, which influences the overall culture and shows what OpenX values. Of course the transparency in communication from leadership is easy to pinpoint, but there are plenty of other cultural things that show how we all care about each other and who we are outside of just an employee of OpenX (recognizing birthdays or life achievements, social engagements outside the office together — or even OpenX investing in the commercial offsite where we can all be together, which everyone is a huge fan of, being rewarded with company wide days off, etc.

Why is it important to you that your work (and workplace leaders) share these values? 

It’s important that they share these values because it influences how I show up to work each day. Knowing I trust our leaders and they are communicative and care is a huge part of not only feeling a part of something but making sure I believe in what I’m working towards and understand the vision and where we are going, together. Ultimately, we are a team and to understand and share the vision is critical for achieving that common goal. Without that shared vision, understanding or shared values, I think you lose the importance or feeling of being part of something bigger.
