The most challenging, unethical and demoralizing environment I have ever worked in
Pros
Fun industry & remote work environment
Cons
My experience at Daxko has been the most challenging and disheartening of my career. Within mere weeks of joining, I witnessed and experienced a culture of overt hostility, characterized by frequent yelling and public belittlement. This behavior, far from being isolated incidents, is a pervasive norm within the company. Despite numerous HR investigations into these toxic practices, leadership has consistently failed to take meaningful action to protect employees. This inaction fosters an environment of impunity, where abusive behavior is allowed to flourish. The workload at Daxko is unsustainable, coupled with unrealistic expectations. Strategic direction shifts abruptly and without clear communication, leaving employees to navigate a constantly changing landscape. Failure to anticipate these unannounced changes often results in gaslighting and verbal abuse, as leadership blames employees for not meeting their unspoken expectations. Additionally, Daxko is actively engaged in a practice of offshoring roles, though they refuse to acknowledge it as such. The company is hiring significantly less expensive labor in India, providing little to no onboarding or direction to them, and thinking an all hands meeting here or there will be enough. Daxko demonstrates a complete lack of commitment to employee development. Despite superficial promises of career growth, the reality is that employees are treated as disposable resources, solely valued for their immediate output. The company's primary objective appears to be maximizing short-term productivity in anticipation of a potential sale. Employee well-being, both mental and physical, is demonstrably disregarded in pursuit of this goal. I strongly advise potential candidates to avoid Daxko. While the company may now advertise competitive salary bands, these figures often bear little resemblance to the actual compensation received by current employees. If you choose to disregard this warning, I urge you to call your therapist and schedule some anticipatory appointments. You're going to need it.
