      Culture of Fear

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Nice office in Seattle - Flexible work hours, vacation and WFH policies

      Cons

      - Culture of fear: engineers and other employees are constantly let go with no reason specified - we just get an email saying person X is no longer with Axon. Feels horrible not to know the reasons especially when otherwise great, commited employees are fired - Collaboration is virtually non-existent. There's no teams at Axon. Just a bunch of individuals trying to work together. The head phones policy (a person wearing a head phone can't be interrupted - Slack first), coupled with very flexible WFH policies, means most people are inaccessible most of the time. Slack is used to communicate with the engineers right by the side as there's really no personal relationships here - Extremely week leadership where people are forced to work based on fear; zero team building activities; no real options are given for self learning and development; career building here is a non-existent word

      Startup feel with startup problems

      Business development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Startup feel, casual dress, free snacks and drinks, flexible schedule, work remote, young driven teams, yearly trip to grand canyon, great holiday party, great quality product and customer need

      Cons

      Everyone is working the equivalent of 5 jobs, have to be able to create everything, standard business practice can be hard to find in certain departments, performing above and beyond expectations does not ensure that you won't be let go, the top of the company protects themselves and everyone else in the company is used like a pawn
