Pros

Tons of great folks to work with across various teams and department, a lot of positivity and cooperation among peers

Cons

Toxic management that drags its feet on making any kind of decisions and then blames employees for not being being a part of their 'high performance culture'.

Thanks for leaving a review. We appreciate feedback even when it is negative. Glad to hear you appreciate the people you work with, we truly do have amazing people and teamwork at Pax8. We are continuing to grow quickly and sometimes it feels we are laying the tracks down as we speed along. It is disappointing to hear that you feel there is a sense of blame toward employees, accountability at all levels is an area we are working on across our leadership team. Thanks again for the review.

Pros

Strong individual contributors who are partner-centric. New office is nice for hybrid work.

Cons

What was once a strong culture has eroded significantly due to poor leadership, misaligned talent in key roles, and a chronic lack of strategic direction and communication. Tenure or relationships are rewarded over competence, and those at the top protect each other — even when decisions have negatively impacted the business and/or partners. People are treated as revenue-generating assets, not human beings. Leadership is so deeply disconnected from the real problems that have persisted for years.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that our people, partner focus, and hybrid workspace stood out positively for you—these remain core to who we are. We also recognise that maintaining a strong culture as we grow takes ongoing focus. We continue to invest in strengthening leadership capability, improving how we communicate and align on strategy, and creating more consistent ways for feedback to be heard and acted on across the business. We know there’s always more to do in these areas, and insights like this play an important role in helping us improve and we hope you took time to share this feedback internally via leadership or our anonymous channels whilst you worked with us. We appreciate you sharing your experience and wish you all the best for the future.
