Pros

Axon a.k.a. TASER has a good mission with poor management.

Cons

Axon, formerly TASER is a chaotic place to work. Experienced, knowledgeable people are terminated and replaced with younger people. The end result is a lack of knowledge and experience that would enable Axon to execute with greater success. As it is, product development projects are poorly planned and executed. Upper management makes commits to new products without knowing what it takes to develop them. This results in short cuts and a disregard for the use of engineering and product development discipline resulting in blurry body cameras and ECD's with numerous problems.

We appreciate your perspective and would like to note our commitment to our product development process. Axon just wrapped up our 2019 Axon Accelerate conference where 1,600 law enforcement professionals from around the world gave us real-time feedback on our current and emerging products. Our product managers, engineers, and leadership regularly participate in ride-alongs and voice-of-customer interviews with law enforcement officers to better understand the daily realities of their jobs, identify pain points with the tools they use, and then create, test, and continually improve our different technological solutions. Every product we develop is designed and implemented with community and officer safety in mind, with an eye for addressing real needs in public safety today.

Pros

Company Mission, Values, and Culture; embodied in action and truly a part of every day engagement and dialogue at Axon. The People; I work alongside and partner with some of the brightest, authentic, and engaging professionals. The PeopleOperations Team is fantastic and I appreciate that managers are open to leaning-in as partners and advisers. It is welcomed at Axon to exercise inquisition; it's OK to ask questions to seek to understand and to learn the most about the company, a team, a process, etc. and how to insert innovation and/or process improvements. Commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusion; this meant a lot to me when choosing a company. As a woman, a veteran spouse, having a brother with a disability, and with LGBTQ+ family and friends; finding a professional environment that had a call to action to enhance diversity and inclusion was paramount to me. While there is still opportunity, I appreciate the movement being made and that Axon does not just 'talk the talk,' but 'walks the walk.' Best Decision I ever made; I have never been this happy personally and professionally. Work Life Harmony & Happiness!! I see the value I bring to the organization (small and large) and am incredibly optimistic about my future and the future of the company.

Cons

Like any organization with rapid growth, striking a balance between Acting Now & Due Diligence. It's an invigorating, fast-paced culture with opportunity to embrace proactivity and reactivity with more harmony. I do trust actions are moving in the right direction.
