Pros

Awesome projects to work on and great mission to get behind

Cons

Leadership doesn't understand the technical side and doesn't listen to employee on explaining whats really going on. Culture is going down hill and it started out amazing. Leaders aren't afraid to throw employee's under the buss to save themselves.

Pros

Cool gear, pockets of sharp co-workers

Cons

New boss fired one of my coworkers while that coworker was on paternity leave. Eight months later I was fired shortly after announcing my own intent to go on paternity leave. That boss is still with the company. Do not recommend to anyone planning to have kids or to people who care about those planning to have kids. Axon has also turned into a toxic high-turnover culture in general due to invasion of former Amazon employees across the management team since the Amazon layoffs.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the contributions you made during your time at Axon. We take concerns about how employees are treated during significant life events, including parental leave, very seriously. While we can't comment on individual employment matters, we are committed to fostering a workplace where employees feel supported, respected, and able to take advantage of the benefits and leave programs available to them. Compliance and employee wellness are among our top priorities, and we provide several avenues, including a confidential compliance hotline, for employees to share concerns or feedback so they can be appropriately reviewed and addressed. Building a strong culture for employees and their families remains an important priority for us, and your feedback helps us continue to evaluate and improve our employee experience. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
