Management is terrible

Pros

In the past, there are plenty of pros - free stuff, plenty of company funded trips, which led to now review and tightening of all expenses. Good management would have manage properly expenses and investment from the start rather than putting in frugality rules after the board demands it.

Cons

Poor management from HQ to the various offices. Politics - so much that it makes it hard to work here, favoritism between management and individuals - unless you are in management's good books otherwise you can kiss your career advancement at Axon goodbye, Performance review is a joke - definitely doesn't help career management, bad investment on products and strategies, culling a whole bunch of great employers just before Thanksgiving - a company with integrity wouldn't do that to their employers just before Thanksgiving - a culture that clearly shows they don't care about their employers.

Pros

The mission. The work. The people. Axon is a unique company with a mission like no others (this got me interested). The work is challenging, fun and rewarding (I love what I do). The people keep me engaged; I am surrounded by excellence and enjoy the people I work with (this keeps me here). If the mission resonates, if you want challenging and engaging work, and you like to be surrounded by wonderful people; Axon is for you.

Cons

The pantry has too many great items that tempt me from my diet.

Pros

The mission is inspiring: Eliminate the bullet. Protect life, protect truth. Put officers back on the streets. In a world of ad tech and gamification ad nauseum, meaningful work is a breath of fresh air.

Cons

Growing pains. Lots of investment in future revenue means lots of changes!
