Axios Associate reviews

The culture was fantastic in the early days and it truly felt like a great place to work. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill and is now failing terribly. Leadership acts impulsively and always chasing the next shiny idea without a real plan, all the while abandoning projects that are still in progress and then blaming the failures on employees. Entire teams have been laid off with as little as two days’ notice. They’ll claim they’ll “do their best” to relocate people internally but when you reach out to recruiters, you’re ignored and treated as if you don’t matter. It’s a toxic environment through and through. Layoffs have become routine and unpredictable. Three major ones happened during my two years there, each without warning. Managers change frequently, and with that, any promises of promotions disappear. Even when you exceed your quarterly goals, you’ll only receive a “meets expectations” rating because leadership doesn’t want to promote anyone. The disconnect between what is promised and what actually happens has left morale very low at all times unfortunately. After the layoffs, remaining associates and senior associates were burdened with additional work, yet no promotions or raises were given. Leadership reposted other roles with expanded responsibilities but at lower salaries. Management has become toxic and heavily micro-managing doing whatever they can to undermine confidence and make employees second-guess themselves.
