AppNexus' mission is to create a better internet. We believe that a diverse workforce and inclusive culture will help us get there by supporting innovation and better business outcomes while helping us retain the best talent. We approach this in three major ways:
We engage the outside community through partnerships and sponsored events that cultivate a vibrant and inclusive workplace - all the while developing a diverse pipeline of talent.
Our affinity groups bring employees together around their shared interests pertaining to identity, while supporting employee development, fostering communities and advocating for real change.
We invest in wide-ranging learning and development programs for our employees, many of which are designed to support an inclusive culture within AppNexus.
We are committed to our affinity groups, which are open to all AppNexians, and exist to bring us together around shared interests pertaining to identity. Affinity groups support employee development by providing leadership, networking and educational opportunities. They advocate for change by providing a venue for constituencies to share ideas, voice concerns and develop solutions with leadership, and by sharing knowledge with both our internal and external communities. Lastly, they build community by offering camaraderie, friendship, support and a safe space for employees to engage in thoughtful discourse on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, diversity and identity.
