Pros

Free food, Innovation activities are good, Work days that give back to our community are great, most employees are Great!!

Cons

Management speaks a good game but doesn't want to make the hard decisions as they should. Too afraid it will break up the cool kid club. If you don't fit that cool kid culture you will be pushed out of the way. No matter how much good you bring into the organization. Seeing people given a task which will disrupt culture and to watch them succeed at the task and the Management not support the decisions they made. Seeing employees stating that if they have to work on specific projects they will quit and management being held hostage and not taking the right corrective actions. Show that the click is in charge more than management. I do not mean all employees are this way, the majority are great.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I wish could have had a chance to discuss this topic with you before you left. Daxko tries to manage performance of team members in a way that is fair across the board. With the addition of our new CEO, we are rolling out tools that clearly identify critical imperatives that connect to the objectives of the company. These tools identify the person who is directly responsible, the initiatives that must take place to accomplish the imperative, timelines and regular check-ins to review the status. This, in addition to reviving managerial training, will help support accountability and execution. Hopefully the time spent at Daxko allowed you to gain experience that can add value in your next role. Good luck!

Pros

Most people care a lot. And try to make the best of the miserable environment.

Cons

The culture is toxic from the top down. Leadership creates an environment of constant chaos, shifting priorities, and little accountability, leaving employees to absorb the consequences. Management by fear is accepted and, at times, seems to be embraced. The company continues acquiring businesses with little apparent planning for how those acquisitions will be integrated into the broader organization. Rather than building scalable processes first, existing teams are simply expected to absorb additional work while already operating at capacity. The result is an organization that constantly feels reactive instead of intentional. Every day becomes another exercise in putting out fires while being criticized for failing to anticipate priorities that were never clearly communicated. Leadership struggles to establish, communicate, and execute on a coherent strategy, making it difficult to accomplish meaningful work or feel successful. Long-term planning consistently takes a back seat to constantly changing priorities. Concerns about leadership and workplace culture are raised, yet the same patterns continue. Employees are left feeling unsupported, overextended, and increasingly burned out while leadership appears insulated from the impact of its decisions.
