Pros

Great Benefits (health/401k matching/stock options). They train the hell out of you and offer continued/ongoing education on the job. They TRULY hire from within and most people who work here are from referrals. Fun people and environment - they try hard to have fun (beer, nitro coffee & kombucha on tap, ping pong, bouldering wall in the office etc). The culture is fun - but changing daily.

Cons

Kind of Bro/Frat culture inherent. Need more diversity.

We appreciate your willingness to take the time to provide well thought out feedback and suggestions. Giving back more is a big priority for us. The stress is on our minds a lot. Admittingly, we understand that we can be hyper-focused on growth and we are practicing better methods to focus on the now to improve the engagement and enthusiasm of all. Diversity is a paramount focus for us to implement in Pax8's overall strategy. We recently booted up a Diversity & Inclusion Committee that we strongly urge you to join and help us promote strategies to bring in more from all backgrounds.

Pros

Having worked in IT for more than I decade I can say from personal experience that Pax8 is the company that people are searching for. I have known many friends who have hopped around to find that one magical place and watch on LinkedIn as they move from one company to the next. Lucky for me, I was able to find my next stint with staying power. I fully have the intention of working for Pax8 the next 4-6 years at least. This is a place with a fantastic culture. Everyone is extremely helpful and willing to share knowledge with each other. Pax8 is very interested in educating employees so they can take better care of customers (Partners). They are all about promoting from within and like to see people rise up to the challenge. Yes, there is the gimmicky beer on tap, ping pong tables, unlimited PTO etc. (this is tech) but on top of that, this really is a very good place to build a career.

Cons

This is still in startup world. There is a ton to do with not a whole lot of people to do it. (we bring on 30+ people per month) This is the nature of the beast. We talk about unlimited PTO but there is never enough time. Always something else to do, partners to help, business to close. Pay isn't the highest I have seen in tech but I believe long term with the success we are seeing they will correct this in due time. We do need more focus on all non-sales roles to keep up with the growth.

Pros

Anyone who is not in a management or "leadership" position is great! Unlimited PTO.

Cons

You see all the great Built in Colorado articles about this place, and you think it's going to be great, until you're there. The novelty of Pax8 wears off very quickly, the blinders come off shortly after walking in the place, and after a few weeks you see this place for what it really is. Toxic. The nature of the reviews are quite indicative of this. It's quite telling how after a few bad, but honest reviews, the page is then flooded with very short and to the point "good" reviews. Makes one wonder if people were enticed, or god forbid, threatened, to post more positive reviews. After dealing with much of the leadership here, I wouldn't put it past them, and would suggest both those options are true. It's really quite sad.

You make some interesting accusations in your review which are blatantly false. Specifically, about enticing or even threatening our employees to post good reviews. We absolutely do not, in any way shape or form, do anything to request or influence employees to post reviews. We take feedback very seriously and welcome honest and constructive feedback.
