Pros

Pax8 is a fun environment - beers & kombucha on tap, snacks, scooters, ping pong, super "bros club" hipster vibe. It's pretty much every millennial's dream work environment to a T.

Cons

There are some amazing people who work at Pax8, but the handful of awesome people do not make up for the others. Pax8 chooses quantity over quality and it shows by the mass amounts of people they hire and the churn. You are valued as a number rather than a person. They paint a picture of a fun hip company with a lot of room and potential for rapid growth and that is how they justify underpaying their employees. -Unless of course you know someone, Pax8 is all about nepotism and is quick to hire, pay, and promote those that are in their circle. There is a significant lack of transparency from management and absolutely no accountability from their managers or HR. HR is virtually non-existent and has no authority. Because of this, the organization lacks ethical leadership, unity and collaboration. The company does not value honesty or integrity, and it's pretty unbelievable how often management looks away at dishonesty. On multiple occasions I personally witnessed unethical business practices endorsed at a high level.

The concerns that you have raised are the opposite of who we strive to be as a company and I truly wish that I would have had the opportunity to hear from you while you were experiencing and witnessing these issues. I thank you for your feedback.

Disappointing so far

Pros

Cool office, great co workers, low stress, unlimited PTO, great CEO

Cons

After 5 months at Pax8 the company seems lost in the woods without a compass, a strategy and sometimes even its bearings. Disorganized and confused middle managers who don’t have much experience or any direction from executives. Job roles & responsibilities change so frequently. You can’t have a career path if you can’t see passed the next few months. The best path for advancement is to become someones favorite. Lots of extravagant offices and perks for VP’s and above and tons of money being spent, but 401k matching for the rank and file promised months ago never happened (its a "paperwork" problem). Still haven’t found or seen the “culture” thats talked about all the time. Company meetings are all about sales and marketing people talking about how great they are. Everyone else seem to be a second class citizens.
