Pros

Smart Brevity is not just a tagline at Axios - it's in the culture DNA. The people are as intelligent and talented as I've seen. They're devoted to making people smarter, faster about the topics that matter. The Client Partnerships team is devoted to helping clients tell their stories about how they're impacting the world. In media, that is a very exciting place to be. Leadership is available, transparent and devoted to the mission.

Cons

It's still a young company battling through the challenges that every company faces in a pandemic, but overall I think Axios is handling it much better than most.
