Praxent Reviews

Pros

- Excellent Leadership that is attuned with their team Tim, Kevin, and the leaders they have surrounded themselves with live out their core values day to day. There is little or no cognitive dissonance in saying they value something and then behaving in a way contrary to that value. I was on a particularly challenging project and during that time nearly every senior leader at the company reached out to me personally to encourage me in the work I was doing and offer their help should I need it. - Psychological Safety I haven't encountered a single instance of dismissive handwaving if I had an idea that could help the team. It might have opened up a conversation, and that might have lead to some back and forth conversations and the need to process why I think something is a good idea, or a colleague or boss might come up with a better idea. All of those are the signs of a healthy company and healthy people. I feel completely safe sharing my thoughts or ideas without any sort of reprimand or being labelled someone who "isn't a team player". - Folks are Empowered to make decisions related to their work (no micro managment) I regularly get suggestions, or "I would do such and such if I were in that scenario". But I can't think of a single time I've been told how to do my job. I'm equipped to do my job, and do it well, and make decisions accordingly. If those decisions don't pan out, I can own it, learn from it, and we all move on and be better for it. - Fully Remote (flexible hours and location) I know fully remote doesn't always mean flexibility, but at Praxent it does. Coffee shop, beach, couch. No one cares, just get your work done. If I want to start a little later and go for a bike ride, it is encouraged. I just need to be mindful of my calendar and put my teams availability first, and I avoid coffee shops / loud workspaces if I'm leading client calls. - Work Life Balance Kind of related to the above, but on the other side of the same coin. 90% of the time, work stays at work. I've never felt pressured to answer emails or slack messages once I'm wrapped up with my day. Delivery Leads across the board have shown a lot of consideration for protecting their teams time and it shows. - Talented Team Folks are thoughtful and talented, which makes everyones job more enjoyable. - Generous PTO I consider our PTO policy to be pretty generous. People are actively encouraged to spend time away from work, and I think as a team we do a good job of protecting that and letting people get away by avoiding reaching out to them if it is at all possible.

Cons

- I could earn more somewhere else. I've debated whether even saying it, but I think it can be helpful for some who are willing to trade a larger paycheck for other benefits. I have some friends with similar roles who's increased pay is not an insignificant amount. BUT I understand there are potential tradeoffs there, so you have to decide what is important to you, and pay is definitely competitive or very close. And something to note, even with recent tech layoffs there has been no mention or fear of that at Praxent, which has to be taken into consideration. - Peaks and Valleys of Agency Work There can be seasons of extreme busyness, and I've had a couple periods of begging other folks if there is anything I can do to lend a hand because I've got extra time. I think this is normal in an agency model, and it has been largely even-keeled because our leadership and sales team does a good job managing resources and predicting growth. Kind of a smaller thing in my mind, but worth noting.

Pros

- A team that actually lives its core values (day-in, day-out) to deliver outstanding value to its customers - Remote work flexibility - Interesting project work

Cons

- None to report at this time

Pros

The culture is amazing, the company is growing, everyone respects the work I do for the team, and I am allowed to progress as fast as I want/can.

Cons

As we grow, the company direction is altering, there is some ambiguity that makes the job tougher than if it was spelled out. With this said, it is a great opportunity to rise to the occasion and be a part of the strategic direction of the sales team and bizdev team

Pros

The company really lives its values. High quality, high integrity people. Honest, capable leadership.

Cons

It's fully remote, which may not be for everyone.

Pros

Many companies claim to have a healthy work culture/workplace. Praxent is the real deal. From day 1 everyone has been incredibly friendly and helpful. I look forward to growing with both my team and the company as a whole. Great work/life balance, holiday, and PTO.

Cons

I can't think of a single con.

Pros

As someone who recently rejoined Praxent, I was pleased to see that the culture that was being developed during my previous time with the company had received buy-in pretty much company wide. Praxent has grown their systems to support developers in many outstanding ways. Whether its HR, Sales, Marketing, PMO, or Recruiting, there are fantastic individuals that genuinely care and make the Engineering practice even better. The team that Praxent has is all around great and I have thoroughly enjoyed all my interactions. Everyone is fantastic at what they do. Now that the team is 100% remote, I feel like anyone anywhere has a chance to be a meaningful addition to the team.

Cons

If I find any I will report back, 100% positive so far.
