Business Outlook

Pros

Culture - I've worked for 12 companies and this is by far the best culture that I've experienced. Despite explosive growth, Pax8 has managed to maintain a healthy balance of a fun startup culture with the benefits of a stable, established company. Everyone I work with has been genuinely nice and supportive from day 1. Leadership - They're not perfect, but I think they've done an amazing job growing the company, maintaining a positive work environment, and providing a vision for the future. Growth - We've been growing at a staggering rate for many years and there is still enormous opportunity to get bigger and better. AI focus - The leadership team has proven their commitment to setting up the company and employees for success by creating a dedicated AI department and investing resources into AI tools and training. It's still early days, but this is where the world is heading and it's critical to be at a company that embraces the future and cares about giving employees fundamental AI skills.

Cons

Growing pains - I've been with the company less than 3 years so I haven't seen a huge culture shift, but I've heard people that have been here longer than me say that the job was more fun when it was a smaller company. We had a big layoff (~5% of the workforce) earlier this year and I think it had a pretty big effect on the general mood and spirit of the company, but my department wasn't really impacted and I think people are less stressed than they used to be. Focus on profitability - As a stockholder, I am all for this. As an employee, it's hard to see budget cuts when a lot of teams seem understaffed. We're still growing and hiring new people, but I'm hoping that the budget will loosen a bit once we reach profitability. Reorganization - I have seen more department and team reorgs in the past few years than any other company. It can be pretty annoying, but most of the time they seem like thoughtful changes to improve the company and people seem to adapt pretty well. Too much opportunity - This obviously sounds like a good thing, but it actually makes it difficult to prioritize and focus when there are so many business and growth opportunities.

Pax8 Response

Thank you forl eaving a 5 star review. It is incredibly gratifying to read that we come out on top in terms of people and culture from someone with such experience. I also appreciate your balanced and constructive feedback on the areas we can improve. Pax8 has always been a high growth company but in recent years we've also been looking to evolve alongside our rapid growth. This undoubtedly puts strain on the organisation and we have been making strategic investments to remove these growing pains in future years and ensure we have a scalable, sustainable platform for growth. As a technology organisation we are always looking for ways we can drink our own champagne and use software to support teams becoming more efficient however I acknowledge the benefits can take a little while to manifest after deployment. If you have not done so already please share this thoughtful and constructive feedback with your people leader. We appreciate the opportunity to continually improve on the back of open conversations. I'm delighted to have you with us on this journey.
