Pros

Free Friday lunch "Unlimited" PTO Generally friendly team members Casual dress

Cons

Corporate culture is beginning to creep in. Employees have been forced at threat of termination to sign a new, over-reaching non-compete agreement for all active employees). New employees should be warned, they will be forced to sign this if they want to work at Daxko - READ IT CAREFULLY. If you are seen to be in violation of this agreement and you do not work in the company's headquartered state of Alabama, you will be forced to travel to Alabama at your own expense to engage in litigation over any issues. Additionally, YOU will have to pay for all of Daxko's corporate attorney fees plus any associated costs with no limit on what the total could amount to. Daxko wants you to know that they are willing to bankrupt you if need be. If you leave Daxko for any reason (your decision or theirs) there is a two year ban on direct or INDIRECT competition, which could be interpreted as just about anything. One of the great benefits that gave Daxko an edge was that they have the Achievers Club trip for top performers across the entire company rather than only rewarding the sales team as corporate companies do. This makes a lot of sense for a software company since your technology teams are the brains behind the business. Because of high level leadership changes and the board's desire to cut spending, Achievers Club has been renamed and is now reserved only for sales team members. The response to this review will probably say that there is a conference in a city with an existing Daxko office for non-sales team members in replacement of Achievers Club, but in reality the sales team are the only ones who get rewarded for hard work. If you are considering apply, you may way to reconsider. Daxko has become heavily sales focused. If you are in the technology field, just know you have better options.

Thank you for the feedback. We do have some pretty cool perks and great people in our office. We are all looking forward to warmer weather so that we can break out the shorts and flip flops. After a review of existing changes in laws and the acquisition of multiple companies, we wanted to ensure consistency across the entire organization. This did require us to roll out a revised restrictive covenants agreement, but please note, not much changed from the agreement we require all new hires to sign when starting. We agree that everyone should carefully review any document they are asked to sign. There has been a shift from Achiever’s Club, but it is not because we wanted to save money. Daxko Senior Leadership created the Daxko Development Conference to invite exponentially more individuals from across the organization to come together in one location to build cross-location and cross-team relationships, provide development opportunities and have some fun

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.
