Pros

High performing culture, supportive colleagues, good benefits, inspiring company mission

Cons

A huge imbalance of culture due to the enforcement of new hires being in the office 4 days per weeks. This might work well in larger offices but in smaller offices, there aren’t many new hires, and this can feel incredibly isolating. Half the week you are spending valuable time commuting in to an empty office. You’re expected to offer flexibility, working for an international business, sometimes taking meetings out of hours, but there is little flexibility offered in return. A blanket approach does not work.

Pros

The mission of the company and the technology itself is very compelling and why most people join the company. Supporting an ethos of public safety is a no brainer.

Cons

The leadership and management team are unprofessional. They do not live by their values and instead instil fear and blame into the workplace.

Pros

Lots of free t shirts and company funded trips, but throwing money at a poorly run company won't fix it. Axon really get you onboard by looking very sexy on the outside and giving you lots of free stuff to get you to join. There are some smart people and some colleagues can be good. They ask employees to leave positive glassdoor reviews while they work there.

Cons

Overall really poor management and would be a lot of favouritism and just throwing money at any problem. Seeing people get unfairly fired all the time is horrible and the company is run on blame culture. -people were unfairly fired all the time -awful management and senior leadership don't know what they are doing -company has 'boys club' culture -no clear oversight of what you compared to your other counterparts are earning -no defined career progression
