Cool products, no work life balance

Pros

- Work on exciting products that help improve public safety. - Axon is a very innovative company with great prospects for growth, as evident by the stock. - Axon employs very smart engineers. - Unlimited PTO

Cons

- Awful cross team collaboration. Given everyone is fighting for time, it can be very difficult when you need something from another team. - Often work 60+ hr weeks, with no end in sight. Even on days off, it’s hard to truly relax when you are always “behind” - In addition to demanding timelines, leadership is constantly introducing more red tape to get your work done - As an engineer, I’ll often spend far more time in meetings than writing code or designing features - You will inevitably miss deadlines due to lack of time, and leadership’s solution is to introduce more red tape and meetings to “correct” the behavior, when the underlying problem is actually too many meetings and red tape

Pros

Good team bonding Not mandatory 5 days RTO Great company finances S&P500 listed company Stock offering Some 401k match

Cons

We do not have a 50% 401k match like others do. Companies usually offer their stocks at 10% discount through ESPP which is missing here.
