Pros

Free Drinks and Free Friday Lunch.

Cons

This place seems like a full blown cult. They worship Patrick Lencioni and every meeting has to mention patrick at least 100 times. To admire is one thing, but to be obsessed is questionable. Everyone is happy ALL the time despite most of them working until 11 at night and never having time to do actual work (this is from employees themselves). Yes, I understand being happy, but ALL the time? When you're stressed out and working 16 hours days?! When you have one pointless meeting after another? I find that so hard to believe. Some of the happiness is to a point of exhaustion. oh man. They are so eager to scream for the Daxko Nation. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your organization, but come on it is excessive. Despite the cult like and fake atmosphere they do not allow you to work from home. Why? Because they want everyone together all the time for no reason what so ever. Imagine how working from home can benefit everyone! Less driving and stress on your vehicle. Saving a ton of money on those free drinks. Happier employees. Lower Overhead cost! The list goes on and on. Just be aware of this as well. They preach "hiring slow and firing fast" that is the truth. They fire so fast that you have to pick up the slack causing there to be more on your plate. Beware!

Daxko Response

Hey! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review - honest feedback like this is always welcome because it helps us grow as an organization. Our entire People Team reads all reviews, as does our CEO. We take them seriously. I'd like to respond specifically to one point you mentioned about working from home: we leave it up to team leads to lay out guidelines for their individual teams on working from home, as some roles may require more time in the office. We do have a number of remote team members, as well as many team members who work from home as needed. You also mentioned seeing team members happy all the time - we don't see this as a bad thing! I think this shows that although we work hard, many of us are glad to be here and contributing our talents to Daxko's mission. Again, thanks for leaving this review. If you ever want to share more feedback, you can reach out to me personally. I am always glad to listen. -Janna

Pros

Most people care a lot. And try to make the best of the miserable environment.

Cons

The culture is toxic from the top down. Leadership creates an environment of constant chaos, shifting priorities, and little accountability, leaving employees to absorb the consequences. Management by fear is accepted and, at times, seems to be embraced. The company continues acquiring businesses with little apparent planning for how those acquisitions will be integrated into the broader organization. Rather than building scalable processes first, existing teams are simply expected to absorb additional work while already operating at capacity. The result is an organization that constantly feels reactive instead of intentional. Every day becomes another exercise in putting out fires while being criticized for failing to anticipate priorities that were never clearly communicated. Leadership struggles to establish, communicate, and execute on a coherent strategy, making it difficult to accomplish meaningful work or feel successful. Long-term planning consistently takes a back seat to constantly changing priorities. Concerns about leadership and workplace culture are raised, yet the same patterns continue. Employees are left feeling unsupported, overextended, and increasingly burned out while leadership appears insulated from the impact of its decisions.
