Pros

Pax8 has been a great company for me to start my career. It's servant leadership style that removes hierarchal barriers between job levels, has given me so much freedom to explore the People Operations function. My career development opportunities have been immense and have allowed me to develop a wide variety of skills not just professionally but personally as well

Cons

I think that although there are not many cons. I would say that Pax8 could improve areas of its onboarding from Day 1 onwards as there were areas of my onboarding where I felt slightly left out the loop and I was not sure what my day to day role would entail until my 3rd day within the company.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am delighted you have gained so much value from your internship at Pax8 and have such constructive reflections. I really appreciate you calling out that we need to focus on our onboarding experience. Your first day is an important moment of truth at a new company and our goal is to make it as positive and useful as possible. This is an area we are continually reviewing and evolving and our Talent Development team are working on a further iteration as we speak.

Chaotic

Pros

there is no such thing.

Cons

Where do I start?! In the Dutch office there is continuous chaos from higher management. It's all nice when you start but then they really show you their true colors. Team leads that have no idea what they're doing!NOTHING!Their only luck was being there since I don't know how many years ago and they managed to get promoted to a position that they are clearly not prepared. Social skills from said managers-0. They do not know how to speak to a person and have the emotional empathy of a wall. You try to do all you can for your job and when you present ideas on how to make things go even better, it goes through this ear and out the other. They want to establish themselves as the biggest cloud bla bla bla bla. This will never happen because of all the middle management that is incapable.Everyone is going through a burn out but they are afraid to say something because of possible repercussions from management or HR. HR is there just to be there, there clearly is a separation between the locals and the internationals, they have no idea how to deal with people from different countries that DO NOT think the same as they do. Seeing the reviews from the US colleagues only validates that this is not singular to one office from a different country/city but that THIS IS CLEARLY THE COMPANY MENTALITY. People that lack basic skills such as interacting in a normal way without saying something offensive. The pay is so so low compared to the never ending inflation and the prices in the Netherlands. When you ask if there is a possibility of a raise because the TARGETS ARE UNREALISTIC AND YOU WILL NEVER RECEIVE A BONUS, they tell you that you should be happy with what you have :)

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. I want to acknowledge the deep sense of frustration and perhaps even injustice you feel about your time at Pax8. As you would know, we are growing rapidly, acquiring and integrating new businesses, while at the same time building new markets in Europe. This means we all work in a dynamic, agile, rapidly changing and sometimes ambiguous environment. In the Zwolle office we have an international culture and more than 20+ languages. Communicating in a multi-national environment takes practise, courage, patience and curiosity. We are also a young organisation that likes to promote from within. This means everyone works with leaders who are themselves on personal growth journies. Blame and judgement are not tolerated. What we do value in all our people is their ability to lean into personal growth - alongside their managers to support each other during challenging times. A value we all work on daily is always assuming positive intent with our colleagues. We also recognise building a sales pipeline in this environment is challenging. While some people thrive with these greenfield and entrepreneurial growth challenges, we understand it is not for everyone. There are no shortcuts to building a great sales team in a new market and I appreciate the sales function maturity may not have come quickly enough for you. Our complexity and pace is challenging. We are not perfect but we are heavily committed to developing every person at every level and making significant investment in leadership training this year. All our managers want to deliver is a great people experience. We would encourage any of our current employees experiencing frustration to talk to their manager, mentor or any of the leadership team who can provide support, wellbeing, context and alternative perspectives which we are all facing during these exciting but challenging growth times. I am truly sorry your experience did not work out in this role, but regardless we wish you succes in your next role.

Not serious about diversity

Pros

Salary and depending on the teams/department you’re in

Cons

This place is not serious about DIVERSITY & INCLUSION at all. They try to sell themselves as a company that cares about its employees but won’t hire diverse people to add to the culture, it’s inclusion is a joke, and leadership doesn’t hide that they don’t care about creating a diverse & inclusive environment that they “preach” about. People are in leadership/hiring roles that play favoritism and don’t care about creating a safe diverse environment with head scratching hires.
