Pros

Flexible working arrangements Great colleagues Fun atmosphere Nice offices

Cons

The worst line manager I've ever had the displeasure of working with in my life. Narcissistic, toxic and bullying behaviour that is left unchecked by senior management. Started out with 7 people in his team, now left with 2 as they've either left the company or changed roles. My high standard of performance was ignored or suppressed. Continually received mixed messages on what I should be doing and the internal politics at higher levels is astounding and childish. I have never been treated so badly in my life. Amazing how one person can ruin an entire experience.

I want to acknowledge the strength of feeling I read your message. It feels like you have “missed out” (I want to say “cheated”) on the opportunity and expectation of a great career experience. I am personally saddened to read this. I would encourage you to reach out to me in confidence so I can look into your particular situation. With the launch of our culture canvas in EMEA recently our goal is to empower EVERYONE to grow in a culture of Psychological safety so we avoid anything like this in the future. I sincerely hope you are able to move on from this experience positively. Dclement@pax8.com

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.
