What It's Like to Work at Caxy

Daily work is a fantastic mix of solving difficult problems that create value for our clients and learning new things. I'm humbled by the talented (and hilarious) people at Caxy and leadership focuses on providing resources and opportunities to grow.

My first day at Caxy I knew I was with a fun group. Three years in and we're still having a blast while working on some tough problems.

Caxy has been great at finding what I'm good at and helping me to take that skill to the next level, but also at helping to improve secondary skills along the way.

I get to solve interesting problems with a smart team that actively provides feedback and pushes the products to be better. We show up for each other, celebrate the good, and actively work to be 1% better daily.

Caxy is a company where I feel respected and appreciated. I’ve grown not only career-wise but also as a person in my eight years at Caxy.

We're trying what we can to create opportunities to get to know each other given that we're mostly in Chicago, but with many people around the US. The last 2 events we flew people in for so we could be together were at Ace Bounce for food and ping pong and then an end of year party where we bowled and did awards.

We support growth informally through peer learning, project stretch skills, exposure to new technology, and a broad range of business verticals. We support growth formally through professional development plans, pair learning partners, semi-annual reviews, weekly or monthly check-ins toward goals, and opportunities to take classes / conferences.

When it comes to approaching me and feeling like that will be successful, I work to make myself a partner in your solution -- which has yielded positive results. I believe everyone has bad days, everyone is capable of good ideas, and all things are figure-out-able. if something went wrong, we just fix it and move on.

The technologies Caxy works in is constantly being evaluated and updated. We do a "State of the Stack" twice a year where we talk about the new things we're focusing on. Those ideas come from the team. We're not an "X" shop. We work in the technology that makes the most sense at the time. The latest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzX1eIvM9I4

Caxy creates sustainable, breakthrough results with technology. For our people, that means we want to be a place to make a better life by growing your skills in technology. For clients it means that we help businesses make breakthroughs that wouldn't have been possible without technology.
