Pros

The company's mission and future are strong I work with passionate, smart, diverse, kind employees Time for learning new things is valued. Someone is always willing to huddle and swarm around anything that needs troubleshooting. I feel supported without being micromanaged Office break rooms are equipped with a generous assortment of free, healthy snacks and beverages

Cons

There are lots of great initiatives that may require extra hours so you need to remember to take time off periodically to recharge. If you don't like wearing black, I hope you like yellow. Your closet will have more black tops than before.

Great Mission & Great Culture

Pros

If you're looking for an organization that truly does have a mission and values that mean something - Axon is the place for you! I've seen other places that refer to values, but in reality it's posted on a doc here and there and that's it! At Axon they (values) really do drive all decisions that they make and the ultimate goal to protect life is something felt by all at any level. The ability to collaborate as a team even working remotely is there and the level of transparency that the company offers was refreshing. Being in the industry that we are can be charged and hard to navigate and I appreciate the open dialogue the company has with it's employees. It helps us all to understand business decisions no matter the level and to get any questions addressed in a safe and open forum. My team feel like friends I've known far longer than I've been employed here and that is special too.

Cons

The hiring process was not the best experience - the timing and speed to interview was great but the alignment in the role I had applied to and what was essentially offered were not the same. The mission, culture and team is what kept me moving forward in accepting my offer. In being here I've seen that your true function of your role is great and all... but they do look for "bar raisers" and people that go above and beyond to get recognition at times. That can often lead to feeling overwhelmed and burnout. The pace in people operations does not always feel sustainable and seems like more headcount is needed in certain areas to keep with the demands of the business and overall company growth.
