At the Rubicon Project, we are committed to giving our team members access to as much information, knowledge, and opportunity to improve their skills as they desire. The most recent addition to our team development arsenal is the Rubicon Library. Based on team suggestions and feedback, we invested in a “library” of books that pique their interest. It has been wildly successful amongst the Rubicon team: the library has only been open for 2 weeks, and already, half of the inventory has already been checked out! A perfect example of how “knowledge is power”!
