Pros

Honestly, there are no pros left at this stage. ​Alot of good people who made this a great place to work under Andrew have almost all been pushed out or left of their own accord.

Cons

Since John Burton took over in 2025, it is so obvious the focus has shifted entirely to greed and prepping the company for a sale. ​Town halls have been bizarre and insulting; in the most recent JB (CEO) showed photos of the PE owner, explaining how great they are just a week after making many redundancies, it was very cringe. ​The sudden closure of the Crawley office was handled with zero empathy for the staff affected. ​New management constantly blames the previous leadership for their own current incompetence and lack of a coherent roadmap. ​Morale is non-existent and turnover is at an all-time high because it's clear the staff are just numbers on a spreadsheet to be cut and the products are going backwards.

Something we care deeply about at Akixi is transparency. We know that when considering a new role, many prospective employees look at sites like Glassdoor to understand what it’s like to work at a company. Because of that, we want to openly address negative comments that have been made anonymously and to provide some context. Over the past six months, Akixi has gone through a significant period of transformation under a new, highly experienced Senior Leadership Team. During this time, we have worked hard to address a number of performance, structural and cultural challenges within the business. During these changes, the difficult decision was made to part company with a number of employees, including members of the previous leadership. While these decisions were difficult, they were made to put the company on a stronger and healthier path for the future. Some of the comments, made by people who left the business as a result of restructuring, are factually incorrect, some comments are as a result of sensible business decisions and some comments are personal opinions. Employee feedback suggests these opinions are not widely held - in our most recent anonymous Employee Engagement Survey, which had 100% participation, our engagement score increased by 33 points over the period covered by these comments. Our transformation journey is creating lots of exciting opportunities which we are recruiting for. As part of our commitment to transparency, if you reach the offer stage in our interview process, we encourage you to form your own view of Akixi by speaking to a number of current employees from across the business before you make your decision. This could be a member of the senior leadership team, someone from an underrepresented group, another department, or anyone who has a perspective you’d like to hear. We very much look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you to Akixi.

Pros

The only "pro" is the unintended comedy of watching leadership gamble the company’s future on AI buzzwords they can't define.

Cons

Since the 2025 takeover, the shift toward greed and prepping for a sale is undeniable. Management’s recent response here is pure gaslighting; claiming a 33-point engagement spike is shamelessly misleading when that survey was strategically timed before the redundancies to manufacture a fake mandate. Since then, they’ve been totally tone-deaf, ignoring staff needs while steering the company into a ditch. We’re witnessing a Dunning-Kruger masterclass: a leadership team obsessed with an 'AI transformation' they clearly don’t understand, taking massive risks with zero governance or a coherent roadmap. The outlook for the next few months is dire. 'Cringe' doesn't even cover it—it’s embarrassing to watch the products go backwards while we're treated like disposable numbers on a spreadsheet.
