Communication: Engineering Style

Our very own Interfaces team!

These guys rock: Meet our Interfaces team!

Here at the Rubicon Project, we have many different ways of communicating to the group at large. From “all hands on deck” team meetings, to monthly newsletters, to emails from our founders, to our internal communication tool called Yammer, there is never any lack of information flowing throughout the organization. It is a goal of ours to make sure that are team members feel a part of the business (not just their department), and that they know where we are headed as a company (and why!), plus our current wins, losses, and areas for improvement. Transparency and communication are definitely 2 of our core values we have put a lot of effort into over the last two and half years, and the results are very promising! Our team members know what’s going on, feel empowered, and know how they can personally contribute to our growth and future.

The best part about creating a culture of communication is when our team members take it upon themselves to communicate what is going on in their department to the rest of the organization, through their eyes. Our most recent addition is a fun and informative blog from our Interfaces Engineering team. This group of guys has no shortage of personality, and their blog shows it! The blog is a combination of  new info about projects and releases they are working on (and will be working on), sharing of thanks for hard work and collaboration, and even weekly Simpson references. It gives the rest of a glimpse into what is going on (and what we should be proud of!) in our biggest asset: our technology! Huge thank you to Dave Johnson, our UI engineer and very own budding author. Keep making us laugh Dave!

Although we can’t share our blog with you (internal only, sorry folks), we are very open about the communication strategies we use internally- look for more Rubicon Project culture blog posts about this topic in the future!
