Pros

The team members at Daxko are top notch and challenge each other to improve. There are many opportunities to advance your career, and many people have done that. Dave Gray is an excellent CEO that practices what he preaches and encourages a great culture. The company's core values (sense of ownership, synergistic teamwork, and integrity without compromise) are displayed everyday by team members. The benefits are also great and have been improved over the years, as other companies have decreased them. Daxko is considered the best tech company in Birmingham and has been recognized nationally as a great place to work.

Cons

Team members can be moved across teams more often than some would like, although most of the teams involved work around the same software application.

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.
