What matters

The Axios Culture Statement
‍
We are a company of top achievers, of people who strive to be the best at what they do, who take full ownership of their work and who love working together.

  • We believe in integrity, transparency and candor and we expect people to hold themselves and one another to the highest standards.
  • We’re innovators, we move quickly, and we are determined to succeed.
  • We’re curious and solutions-driven, never settling for the first or easiest option.
  • We treat people respectfully, fairly, and are firm believers in the power of building diverse and inclusive teams.
  • We believe our demise will come at the hands of mediocrity.

We're not here to punch the clock because this is more than a job — we’re here to seize the tremendous opportunity before us. We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence. We want what we build to matter and we want to work with people who share that passion.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

1 big thing: We strive each day to create an environment where Axions from all walks of life can bring their full selves to work and do their best work.

Why it matters: Axios considers a full spectrum of unique identities when we're building a diverse workforce. We survey staff bi-annually to ensure we are enhancing diversity in more than a dozen different categories including, but not limited to: ability, age, background, education, ethnicity, experience, gender identity, personality, race, religion, and sexual orientation.

It’s great knowing that what I do each day not only makes a difference for my teammates and the company, but it also makes a significant difference for our readers and customers.
