What's It Like to Work at Caxy?

Caxy Employee Perspectives

What drew you back to Caxy as a boomerang employee?

I knew I wanted to return to Caxy before I left. I left for a contract job that I knew was not a permanent position and only for around a year. It was a great learning opportunity for my personal development and a reminder of all the things I love about Caxy that you don’t get at other jobs — like the feeling of camaraderie and investment into individual growth.

Since returning, what are you most excited to have back in your professional life?

I have many close friends from my first stint at Caxy and my new stint. I love having that back! I have formed many close relationships, some of which will undoubtedly last a lifetime, even since my return. This tells me that this is a Caxy thing because Caxy hires good people who are interested in working together and care for each other.

What advice would you offer leaders who wish to create the type of workplace that draws former employees back?

The amount of internal growth cannot be overlooked or overstated. The company’s trajectory has been on an upward trend for half a decade now in terms of company size and client base. Also, when you come back to Caxy you demonstrate your personal investment in the company, and that does not go unreciprocated.

Caxy Employee Reviews

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.

Theo, Software Developer

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.

Nick, Quality Assurance Developer

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.

Megan, Director of Product

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.

Mike, CEO

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.

Hannah, Chief Operating Officer
