Do Not Work Here

Pros

The best thing about working at Pyxl is your coworkers, because you're all living through the same miserable experience, so you develop close relationships with one another.

Cons

Where to begin. There's not much to say here that hasn't already been mentioned in recent reviews. Pyxl used to be a good place to work, then it all fell apart. The company tried to grow without putting any real systems into place to actually accomplish their growth goals, or support employees. You're regularly expected to work long, long hours without any recognition or recompense. But, don't worry, help is on the way... "you just have to make it through a few tough months." Except those months drag on endlessly. There is no growth plan or professional development opportunities, even though those are mentioned a lot in the interview process. Many employees were lowballed in salary negotiations, but told there was a 10% bonus to make up the difference. That bonus was a dangled carrot that was never actually paid out. The Human Resources "Department" is a joke. The department isn't an advocate for the employees in any way, so don't expect any issues to be fixed or anyone to look out for your well-being. And anything you say to HR is going straight to upper management. Pyxl is all about getting new clients, but not about keeping existing clients happy. Once a client signs a deal, they are passed down to the production teams with no care or follow up for whether the client are happy with the work being done for them, or the quality of that work. If an employee has trouble, or their quality of work isn't where it should be, they are put on a 30 day improvement plan. At that point, you might as well start looking for a job because the company isn't actually going to help you improve and will let you go at the end of the 30 days.

Life at Pyxl

Pros

The people & the kind of work you get to do

Cons

Higher management & HR highly unprofessional. Focussed more on getting projects to make money even if that means overworking the employees while expecting them to achieve unrealistically timed goals. No bonuses or raises for doing a good job. Underpaid.
