Life at Neo4j
At Neo4j, our culture is centered around relationships — just like our graph technology, our relationships-first approach connects everyone, from employees to customers and partners. Relationships serve as the foundation of our core values.
Why Neo4j
Our Culture
As Neo4j grows and is more distributed around the globe, the culture we have created becomes increasingly important.
A Founder's Word
Hear from Neo4j's Founder and CEO, Emil Eifrem.
Emil Eifrem sketched what today is known as the property graph model on a flight to Mumbai in 2000. As CEO and Co-Founder of Neo4j, he's devoted his professional life to building and evangelizing graph databases — and the relationships-first culture that powers our mission.
Behind the scenes
Moments that connect us
Connected by Values
Join us in living our values every day
Neo4j's core values reflect how we connect with each other and to the world around us. We promote an open, diverse, and positive culture — together, we're making an impact, one relationship at a time.
We value relationships
(we)-[:VALUE]->(relationships)
At Neo4j, relationships are first-class entities. We intentionally nurture and cultivate relationships within our company, within our products, with our customers, with our shareholders, with our partners, and with our open source community. As a company, this is our primary value from which all others derive.
We focus on user success
(we)-[:FOCUS_ON]->(userSuccess)
We are successful only when others are successful. Thus, we strive to create a friction-free experience for our users across all Neo4j products and services. Our users include not only data practitioners, but also the businesses they work for, the communities they interact with, and every Neo4j employee supports user success – from customer service and sales to engineering and finance.
We thrive in a culture that is open and inclusive
(we)-[:THRIVE_IN]->(culture {type: "Open, Inclusive"})
We believe that seeing the world from different angles makes our company and our products stronger. We work best when we're open to and inclusive of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, colors, genders, and more. We all work on equal terms, and we're generous with our knowledge, time, and skills.
We assume positive intent
(we)-[:ASSUME]->(intent {type:"Positive"})
Our colleagues are at their most creative and productive when they feel safe and trusted. But sometimes even the best intentions are lost in translation across time zones, languages, diverse backgrounds, and out-of-context situations. When we assume positive intent in every communication, we learn to trust our colleagues to do the right thing. That trust binds us together as a team.
We welcome intellectually honest discussions
(we)-[:WELCOME]->(discussions {type: "IntellectuallyHonest"})
Rich, diverse relationships will generate discussion and disagreement, but we welcome these opportunities to let the best ideas win. We don't bring hidden agendas to our discussions, but our most authentic selves. We converse with colleagues, customers, partners, and users in a way that's logical, professional, and intellectually honest to the strengths and weaknesses of an idea.
We deliver on our commitments
(we)-[:DELIVER_ON]->(ourCommitments)
At Neo4j, we value action over talk. When we commit to something – a project, a deliverable, a deadline, a customer, a relationship – we make it happen. And when things come up or circumstances change, we take full ownership and report back with a new plan for delivering on our original commitment.
Company Initiatives
Making a meaningful impact
At Neo4j, we believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our company, our products, and the communities we serve. We're also committed to making a meaningful impact on the world through our initiatives. Here are a few ways we're contributing.
