Pros

The vibe working here is awesome. Axios focuses a lot on behavioral questions during the interview so people here are all great people who are kind, empathetic, and generous. You have entire control over your life - where you want to live when you want to work, and how you are going to get the job done - all is up to you! The work-life balance is incredibly good here at Axios! The pay and benefits are very good for a 4-year start-up and the company is growing in profit each year - amazing! Highly recommended.

Cons

Not in my mind. Maybe Axios gives employees tons of flexibility and because people are spreading across the US - you need to be disciplined and motivated to get the job done because no one really cares about your hours or pushing after you :)
