Pros

Work environment focused around you doing your job correctly as opposed to quickly. If you have to push back a deadline, that's perfectly fine as long as you paid more attention to quality as opposed to cutting corners to hit a deadline. 8 hour work days seem to be unheard of now, but Axon definitely allows you to do this, and in fact promotes it. Unlimited vacation means that I can just take a day, week, or month off whenever, unless you're in some sort of crunch time, which in my two years of working here happened once, and it lasted half a week. The work is always pushing me to learn and be better. Exposure to new technologies is always exciting, and knowing that I'm helping the community at large is a great feeling to have, which drives me to really care about every line I write.

Cons

Health coverage could be cheaper/more comprehensive. While the office looks fantastic, I can't help but wonder what it would feel like if that money was used elsewhere in terms of perks.

Pros

Very much a meritocracy. We work with a sense of urgency to achieve our mission of protecting the truth. I'm treated the way I want to be treated; having been at very toxic places in the past, this place is amazing. I love Rick Smith and how approachable he is!

Cons

The sense of entitlement that some folks have is appalling. Work hard and be treated as such. Work/Life balance is tricky.

Pros

I enjoy working at Axon. The team is really good technically and eager to help. It is easy to get work done (not much red tape at all) and I've made many good friends here. We are growing fast, so there are many opportunities for career growth. Leadership is good, trusting of employees and a strong believer in the company's mission and values. Also benefits are great, among others, a free Tesla for software developer hires

Cons

The normal pains of growing so fast, it's been hard for recruiting to keep up with the influx of candidates.
