      Pros

      Small firm relative to other equipment companies. Good work life balance yet work is challenging and keeps you busy.

      Cons

      Not enough cohesion between business units.

      Pros

      The mission of making the world a safer place makes getting out of bed in the morning much easier. Everyone is bought into this mission and that's why Axon is able to hire and retain some incredible talent from top companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Axon's not afraid to invest in moonshots and have crazy goals such as making the bullet obsolete. You really get a sense that one day, you'll be proud to tell your grandkids about the work you're doing.

      Cons

      There are definitely some growing pains as the company is in hyper-growth mode. Many processes need refining and the company is not hiring fast enough so existing employees may be asked to take on too much for too long. This seems to be changing as the exec team is not shy about investing in additional people. It just seems like the high bar for hiring has meant there hasn't been enough hires to sustain the growth of the business.

      Pros

      Regardless of the position you take, you are going to be involved in some impressive and interesting work. The company is well run and has a plan to evolve and thrive into the future. Execs are not obsessed with themselves or their title. They do good work and hold themselves accountable

      Cons

      Somewhat of an ivy league favoritism culture, especially in the hiring process. However, once you get into the company promotions are based on merit and ability
