Pros

Great colleagues, projects and interesting problems to solve. I learned a lot during my time here and pay is okay.

Cons

Management, toxic work culture, I left finally because I could not deal with all the Ex-Amazonian 995 mentality that is going on.

Pros

It's an interesting industry to work in that has a clear impact on the world. Most employees are friendly and helpful. Lots of internal promotions and room for career growth.

Cons

Management in the software side of the business is mostly former Amazon managers and Amazon's culture came with them. There's lots of talk of wanting employees to have work life balance, but there's a constant push to do more with less which means there is always too much work lots of burn out. It's very common to hear phrases straight from Amazon's handbook like Disagree and Commit, Bias for Action, Customer Obsession, and Dive Deep when in a meeting with managers. ZBB is talked about constantly and your team's performance is measured against that. Employee's are stack ranked at review time. If you like Amazon's culture, you will feel at home at Axon. If you're like me and you didn't enjoy Amazon, you should stay away.
