Pros

The mission of making the world a safer place makes getting out of bed in the morning much easier. Everyone is bought into this mission and that's why Axon is able to hire and retain some incredible talent from top companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Axon's not afraid to invest in moonshots and have crazy goals such as making the bullet obsolete. You really get a sense that one day, you'll be proud to tell your grandkids about the work you're doing.

Cons

There are definitely some growing pains as the company is in hyper-growth mode. Many processes need refining and the company is not hiring fast enough so existing employees may be asked to take on too much for too long. This seems to be changing as the exec team is not shy about investing in additional people. It just seems like the high bar for hiring has meant there hasn't been enough hires to sustain the growth of the business.

Thank you for writing this review and we are happy to hear that you, too, are really proud of our mission and excited about the talented people you work with. Growing pains are real and we will continue to join forces as we address them! Even during hyper growth, our hiring bar will remain high - we owe it to the mission. Your perspective is appreciated and hiring is definitely a company priority!

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
