Xaxis Employee Reviews about "pay"

Pros

Fast growing, young and fun.

Cons

Doesn't pay as well as some other companies in the indistry

Pros

Xaxis was really a great place to be during the early years. The place felt alive. Leadership was palpable and inspiring. In the last 2 years it has turned into a sad reflection of what it once stood for. Its embattled leadership is struggling to retain talent. There's still some silver linings - but they are getting slimmer and slimmer with time. - Still a big brand name in the industry - Training program is ok - Some smart people left in the org. You will learn. - Work with a large and diverse group of clients - Agency lifestyle - if that's appealing to you

Cons

- Since original leadership (Brian Lesser + Brian Gleason) moved over to GroupM more than a year ago the company has struggled to articulate a vision and provide a path forward. - Top down communication is terrible. It's a 'boys club' at the top levels. - Clients are leaving at an alarming rate - GroupM is choking Xaxis. Cutting benefits. Freezing pay increases. Halting promotions and replacements. - Morale is at an all time low. - Relationships with the agencies has become extremely adversarial. Xaxis is the punching bag of GroupM. - Internal products are extremely weak. No real investment in tech. - Big ego's. Leadership has completely lost touch with the base. Constant management retreats. - Long hours. Low pay. Recognition is hard to come by - It has lost its 'startup' culture. It's a big and bloated organization with lots of politics now. - Did I mention a complete lack of leadership - at all levels?

Pros

Great people and very welcoming environment and lifestyle, big can do attitude and I one of the best social in work experiences I've had.

Pay and development was very static and always made to feel that its a privilege to work there and pay increases are taboo. Company great exponentially but felt like it was heavy on the shareholder

Pros

- Opportunity into ad tech field with a recognizable brand name. - Work with various data partners, platforms, and names within digital field. - Work/life balance was fine. Nothing over the top.

Cons

- Multiple hiring and promotion freezes. Don't expect to climb the ladder if you weren't there since the beginning. - Turnover rate extremely high. Most employees are disgruntled. - Lost all 'start-up' culture. No more fun outings, parties, etc. - HR department all left. Telling sign of bad news. - Have witnessed multiple layoffs. All layoffs are discrete so others don't freak out. - Founder has left umbrella company. Multiple early-stage employees all left. More signs of a collapse. - Removed most benefits. Terrible 401k plan. Only positive is health and wellness plan. - Pay is very poor. Competitor's pay much more. - Told to give a good Glassdoor rating during orientation. Unfair in my opinion.
