Inclusion and Belonging
At The Trade Desk, our people are our top priority. We know that our company culture is key to our success and that creating an environment where everyone feels valued and connected is essential to achieving our mission of protecting the open internet.
Our core values — vision, grit, agility, generosity, openness, and fullheartedness — guide us in this journey.
Our culture
We foster belonging by facilitating global connectivity and creating space for employees to share their stories, perspectives, and traditions. Throughout the year, we host in-office events, celebrations, and employee-led discussions around a wide range of topics and meaningful moments.
Across our global offices, our local Inclusion Networks — open to all — help build community, lead events, and create safe spaces for dialogue.
Each year, our global workforce comes together for Palooza — a unique week of learning, team building, and connection. Every quarter, we host Onboard, a dedicated week for new hires to immerse themselves in our mission, values, and ways of working.
Our workforce
We fuel growth and connection across our workforce through continuous learning and networking opportunities.
We organize learning opportunities for leaders and employees on a broad range of topics, including fostering support for working parents, working across cultures, mental health awareness, leading with empathy, and much more.

“Often, I have had the common Black experience of leaving pieces of myself at home to better ‘blend’ at work. Getting to be fully me within a company that celebrates culture, strives to illuminate issues, and supports Black employees is beyond important, it’s imperative.”
