Daxko reviews

I was one of only two female engineers in the office, and we were both in our twenties. I mention that because older and more experienced female engineers probably knew better than to work at Daxko. During my two years of employment at Daxko, I saw no women in engineering management or engineering leadership. In fact, the two highest-ranking women in the whole company quit during the time that I was employed at Daxko, and a third soon after. The stereotypical bro culture is alive and well in the engineering department. My work was solid and I received nothing but good reviews from management, but my appearance and personal life were common topics of conversation among the men in the engineering department. I was always fighting to be respected and taken seriously. No matter how hard I worked, how professional I was, how appropriately friendly I was, it didn't matter. I was promoted without a raise, and when I left for a new company, I was immediately making 1.5 times what I made at Daxko. Members of leadership that I trusted would joke about me behind my back to other male coworkers. I filed a report with HR after one of them was physically inappropriate with me at a company party. Somehow, people found out and the rumors got worse. I quit a few months later. Since I've left Daxko, they've hired a new CEO who has been at the company less than a year and already has several harassment complaints against him. Read some other reviews-- he's misogynistic, and so are some of the new members of leadership that he's hired. Female engineers, stay away.

Corporate culture is beginning to creep in. Employees have been forced at threat of termination to sign a new, over-reaching non-compete agreement for all active employees). New employees should be warned, they will be forced to sign this if they want to work at Daxko - READ IT CAREFULLY. If you are seen to be in violation of this agreement and you do not work in the company's headquartered state of Alabama, you will be forced to travel to Alabama at your own expense to engage in litigation over any issues. Additionally, YOU will have to pay for all of Daxko's corporate attorney fees plus any associated costs with no limit on what the total could amount to. Daxko wants you to know that they are willing to bankrupt you if need be. If you leave Daxko for any reason (your decision or theirs) there is a two year ban on direct or INDIRECT competition, which could be interpreted as just about anything. One of the great benefits that gave Daxko an edge was that they have the Achievers Club trip for top performers across the entire company rather than only rewarding the sales team as corporate companies do. This makes a lot of sense for a software company since your technology teams are the brains behind the business. Because of high level leadership changes and the board's desire to cut spending, Achievers Club has been renamed and is now reserved only for sales team members. The response to this review will probably say that there is a conference in a city with an existing Daxko office for non-sales team members in replacement of Achievers Club, but in reality the sales team are the only ones who get rewarded for hard work. If you are considering apply, you may way to reconsider. Daxko has become heavily sales focused. If you are in the technology field, just know you have better options.
