Pros

Axon team is thoughtful about what the company's products do, how its customers will use them, and what any unintentional consequences might be. The company also has an AI and Policing Technology Ethics Board that provides additional input and guidance around new products and initiatives.

Cons

Company is working on diversity. Have heard this set up as a key focus, but there is still a lot of progress to be made, especially among leadership.

Pros

Great company culture; most of the software engineers are passionate about the mission and the work Heavily use open source technologies. In general there is a focus on using the best tools and frameworks for the job Increasing focus on operational excellence -> our executive team is bought in that quality and operational excellence is a top priority for each team Small-company feel. Most engineering squads are 3-6 devs, and the entire company is less than 2500 people. So there's very little red tape to make things happen, and as an individual IC engineer, you have the autonomy to make decisions and have a major impact on the products

Cons

Axon is still maturing as a company. There are a lot of processes and infrastructure that it lacks (we got employees levels only just last year), but it is improving
