Pros

Pax8 is really a great company, don't get me wrong. There are some truly amazing people that work here, and there is a good company culture. I have had the pleasure of working with many very intelligent, talented, and kind people at my time here, and have ended up (unintentionally) making actual friends out of coworkers, something I have always tried to avoid keeping work and home life separated. The company also works with some cool cloud products, so a great way to get your foot in the door in the cloud computing industry.

Cons

This is the part I don't want to write because I truly do like the company. There is definitely a "bro culture" here, always has been. There tend to be promotions and hiring decisions that don't make sense for the role aside from the person in question is buddies with the right people. There is also a lack of clear documentation on somethings can leave aspects of work up for interpretation and cause in office conflicts on how something should be done. Lately (this was definitely not always the case) employee concerns appear to be brushed off. When the company was smaller it was a very tight knit group with a lot of collaboration, more recently however its more of a "Do it my way or get out of my way" mentality which I firmly believe is seriously hurting the company. There also seems to be a constant flux in HR systems and insurance which can be a real pain in the butt. Lastly, and this is speculation based on my own personal experiences and those of my close coworkers, you can easily work yourself into a point where you can change jobs, causing you to be stuck in a role and preventing you from growing out of it.

Pros

Honestly the PTO and some of the people are pretty solid

Cons

Yeah, it is an over glorified call centre with minimal benefit. Definitely feels like there is a lack of growth despite being in a fake urgency of “unicorn super growth”
