Pros

Great work life balance. This company has some of the brightest and most passionate people I have ever met. Very laid back, warm, fun, and casual environment. Good product and a stable company that hasn’t had layoffs in the current tech bloodbath (yet). Cares about employee development and growth.

Cons

It’s deeply concerning that so many teams are under resourced and we keep getting told to tighten our belts during all hands because we aren’t yet profitable and the economy is bad, all the while we’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries to bring people on for a “DEI team” that consists of people who hold bigoted and radical ideas (based on their LinkedIn activity feeds), who will add no other value than to check an ESG box and make a few investors happy in the lead up to our IPO. All the while the people keeping the lights on will remain underfunded.

Thanks for leaving us a review, we always appreciate hearing from many perspectives. We are glad that you find the culture positive in so many ways: work-life balance, smart, passionate people, warm, fun and casual environment. That said, it seems you have concerns about where we might be headed with our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging work. Pax8 today enjoys a very healthy culture, and our aim is to keep it that way. As any company looks to move from start-up to maturity, they must put additional focus on intentional actions to ensure that the culture scales along with the growth of the company. I suspect from your comments that you may have seen other companies struggle to find the right balance with ensuring inclusivity. We are being very mindful in our approach and our goal is to build on what IS working, not to bring in major changes in our culture. Again, thanks for the review. I invite you to have a direct discussion with me if you want to share concerns with the way Pax8 is approaching DEI&B. lfrasier@pax8.com

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”
