Pros

- best platform - best trajectory in the space - “okay compensation” see cons because the only pros are the medium (platform) -goal of this org is “Wal Mart” of tech

Cons

- abilities and skill sets don’t match compensation - “buddy” company that promotes friends over competency - bully tactics run rampant - too big too fail - kept watching phenomenal talent leave because everything I’m saying is true. Facts don’t lie. - more into social appeasement than professional acumen and skill sets -impostor syndrome everywhere -there’s a whole party subculture that determines professional outcome. Drug abuse in leadership -integrity isn’t PAX8’s thing. Showmanship is. -multiple MSPs are recognizing pax8 is full of gen z party employees- brand is bad in the space- not professional -go message 7 people in this position on LinkedIn and find out for yourself

Pros

Pro: Working with our partners is great. Happy hours can be fun and great ways to meet newer people. So happy to work from home! But that’s not why we are here right now. Holding out for the IPO is what most of us are saying to try and convince ourselves that this is worth it. The “culture” is NOTHING compared to what it’s said to be. It’s only for the select few. Don’t be fooled by the pretty pictures and pretty posts. It’s the same people time and time again who are those lucky few get to experience the special. The majority of the great things that are happening are in the UK and APAC, which is great, but it’s like those of us who helped build this from earlier days are now the forgotten step children. But we need to shut up and play our part or you are out.

Cons

Stop listening to the story that you will have rocket like growth here. Yes, the organization is growing fast, but the days of rapid career progression are gone. It’s just not the phase of the company anymore. Some roles are designed for rapid growth, but down be fooled that it’s that way for every department. It’s just an excuse to hire cheap out of the gates. Unless you are in sales or partner relationship roles, you’re stuck. Some other promotions tend to be constellation prizes. Pay is under market value. Culture is supposed to be the balance, but it’s a facade. Leadership is becoming chock full of buddies. No diversity. No real opportunity to make a positive change with all of this when the people you are supposed to go to about it are often the biggest bullies in the company or sweeping it under the rug is the directive.

Wow, that was blunt. Thank you for your review, I recognize that "talk is cheap," but we really are listening. It is concerning that a long-term employee is feeling so disenfranchised from the company. As you know, we are going through an awkward stage as we move from "start-up to scale-up to grown-up." Change is very hard for organizations and for the people who have to manage it. We recognize the growing pains and are putting a renewed focus on our culture and people in 2023. We really hope you see the results. In the meantime, my door is open and I invite you to share your concerns with me directly. lfrasier@pax8.com Thanks again for your review and we hope you're having a better day.
