      Good Mission, Mixed Leadership

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      CEO is mission-driven, knows what he wants to accomplish, and believes in what he does and the people that make it happen. Much of the lower and middle management keeps their teams focused. The best teams provide amazing learning opportunities and career growth.

      Cons

      CTO and C-Suite are slowly turning Axon into another Amazon. Stack ranking, forces team members to compete against each other for promotions and raises. Undermines "Join Forces" and "Win Right." As much as Rick is mission-driven, the CTO is image-driven. Difficult to get the resources we need to get our jobs done. Can't approve expenses for computers, and IT doesn't have computers and equipment.

      Pros

      The location is in a convenient spot for public transit. The company itself is stable. Good pay/benefits.

      Cons

      Poor management. They don't train properly. It's kind of a boy's club.
