Pros

I have been at Daxko for many years and I have seen the pains and discomforts that come with rapid changes at a fast growing company. I have also seen the pay-off and rewards and huge successes that come with the willingness to change and adapt as the company makes shifts to meet the demands of the market and continue rapidly growing. I love it here. Daxko, like any other company, is not perfect, but I completely trust the leadership and I am "on board" with the changes we make to find the best solutions for our customers. We have a very customer-driven and focused team that works in harmony with one another. Quite frankly, I feel spoiled by the benefits of working here and having worked other places, I can't imagine ever wanting to go anywhere else. In the past 2 years Daxko has changed it's approach to openness with products, openness to customers, and complete transparency with our roadmap, our plans, our successes, and our failures. Entrepreneurship has truly become part of who we are again and we are getting products into the hands of customers faster than ever before. It really is an exciting time to be here. I feel very much set up for success and feel I have a great grasp on what we're about and where we're headed. Reading past reviews made me feel compelled to write this because it seemed apparent that the older reviews didn't reflect the changes we've had in openness and transparency.

Cons

If you aren't comfortable with change, you will likely struggle here, but if you see change as opportunity for growth and you're willing to stick it out, you can be very successful at a rapidly growing company.

Pros

Remote work Some fertility benefits

Cons

I spent multiple years at Daxko and watched a company with tremendous potential slowly erode the very culture that once made it special. When I joined, I was surrounded by talented, collaborative, mission-driven people who genuinely cared about customers and each other. The people were the best part of the company and the primary reason many employees stayed despite growing challenges. The decline did not happen overnight. Long before the official layoffs, there was a steady reduction in resources, support, and investment in employees. Teams were repeatedly asked to do more with less while expectations continued to increase. Employees were routinely put in positions where success was nearly impossible, then held accountable for outcomes they lacked the resources to achieve. Under this leadership, the culture deteriorated. Collaboration gave way to politics. Accountability became selective. Favoritism became increasingly obvious. Opportunities, visibility, and career growth were not consistently tied to performance. Instead, employees quickly learned that relationships with leadership often mattered more than results. The most damaging aspect of the culture was the constant flow of blame. When initiatives failed, responsibility rolled downhill. When employees raised concerns, they were often ignored, dismissed, or labeled as the problem. Trust steadily disappeared because leadership repeatedly failed to address issues that employees openly discussed. I personally raised concerns through HR regarding leadership behavior and workplace issues. Nothing meaningful came from those conversations. The experience left me with the clear impression that protecting leaders was a higher priority than addressing legitimate employee concerns. Many employees operated under constant uncertainty. Priorities changed without warning. Expectations shifted without explanation. Feedback was inconsistent. High performers were expected to absorb additional work, compensate for staffing shortages, and continue delivering results without meaningful recognition, support, or advancement. Despite consistently performing at a high level and taking on increasing responsibility, I did not receive a single promotion during my three years with the company. What ultimately broke me was watching talented people burn out. I watched good employees leave. I watched strong performers become disengaged. I watched brilliant minds be replaced by less expensive folks and ai bots. I watched people who cared deeply about the company lose faith in leadership. The company talks extensively about culture, but culture is not what appears in presentations, town halls, or leadership messaging. Culture is how people are treated when they speak up, make mistakes, disagree, or need support. By that measure, the culture failed. Cons:     •    Toxic leadership culture     •    Favoritism over performance     •    Lack of accountability at senior levels     •    Burnout of high-performing employees     •    HR perceived as protecting leadership rather than employees     •    Constant organizational instability     •    Layoff process lacked empathy and respect
