Pros

- Flexible work schedule - Competitive benefits - Remote work - “Unlimited” PTO - 401k matching - Work/life balance - Solid development team

Cons

Building things here is made unnecessarily hard due to obvious incompetency. A number of people have been installed within product and design leadership that are “six degrees” connected to the CTO and it’s obvious they are simply riding coattails. I’m not sure about the other areas of the business but capability in those two areas are routinely lacking. They don’t have any discernible strategy towards building a useful product. They pivot constantly based on whims or demands from the CTO, never guided by analysis or metrics. We’ve had an analytical tool for well over a year and my product manager has never utilized it once in order to inform our approach. Roadmap excises occur quarterly, but are so poorly adhered to that they’re mostly investor confidence boosters and not a method for accurately tracking value delivery. We don’t actually adhere to or enforce modern product building methodologies and are just asked to build the flavor of the month that gets abandoned because there is no clear and present strategy in place.

No clear direction, poor management, self-entitlement with many executives and non-executives, some employees allowed to engage in unprofessional and demeaning behavior towards other employees, and poor pay.

Well, ouch! This review is hard to hear, but very appreciated for the candor. Pax8, as you know, is experiencing growing pains in every area. That said, we are actively listening to feedback through our Your Voice Our Future listening strategy and other forums. Our focus in 2024 will double-down on Pax8's healthy culture while providing our people leaders with important tools and skills. This constructive feedback is taken to heart, so thank you for leaving a review.

Thank you for leaving a review, even though this one is especially disheartening to read. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) is a key component of our culture at Pax8. Our ERGs, launched in 2023, have high engagement across the company and resources to make a difference. We stand behind our hiring practices, and, as in all things at Pax8, continue to raise the bar on ourselves to do the best we can. Thanks again for the review.
