"Too much disrespectful behavior allowed without consistent consequences for bad behavior"
"Lack of trust"
"Lack of transparency and information sharing"
"Fear of speaking honestly, candidly and openly about concerns and direction"
These are some of the top concerns/results from a company-wide survey. What's more, Axiom's first CFO quit less than 2 weeks after joining, and Axiom's first HR manager quit as well after trying to improve the company culture in vain.
Aside from a handful of great colleagues that made it a bit better, my experience was horrendous. My manager would routinely reach out to me at 10 pm on a Saturday night to complete some "urgent" work, while leaving me completely idle with no follow-up tasks during regular business hours. There was no training o and constant micromanagement, even of those colleagues who are obviously hardworking and highly competent. Due to a gap in internal tech implementation, there was also a brief period during which we could see all of the internal emails, and I saw my manager making up blatant!!! lies about my team members and me... And this is a company that's supposed to be pioneering space tech! The icing on the cake was that Axiom was fully in-person throughout the entire pandemic - people didn't wear masks until an outbreak happened, and even then, there was only a few weeks' pause until everyone was expected back for to be in the office everyday.
