Pros

- Transparent and communicative leadership - Added benefits during the Pandemic like mental health days and a work from home stipend - Very diverse company with a lot of women in positions of power - Thorough hiring process - everyone here is very smart and very hardworking - Collaborative environment, where pretty much all departments intersect and work together

Cons

Not a con for me, but it's very fast paced. This is a media company that decides what they want to do next, and then immediately figures out how to implement it. There's no sitting around and twiddling your thumbs.

The best place I've ever worked!

Pros

I have worked in finance, consulting, and tech and been exposed to all types of different kinds of leaders...the Axios founders and leadership team are by far the most genuine, hard-working, and honest group of people I've ever worked with. They practice what they preach...radical transparency, constant communication, and humility. They care deeply about the company and the mission, but they also care deeply for their employees. All teams are extremely collaborative and hard-working which is super refreshing...at some orgs you always wonder "should I be asking this person this?" but at Axios I feel comfortable going to ANY of my colleagues knowing that if they can't help me, they'll at least try to point me in the right direction. Your colleagues and teammates make you want to be a better employee and a better person.

Cons

Everything I mentioned above makes the culture very unique and that might not be for everyone.

Pros

axios is a fast paced, growing company that is trying to do things differently - in the media and tech space and as a startup. there are lots of opportunities for personal and professional growth and to contribute to the company's growth.

Cons

it's a demanding place to work and you have to be self motivated and comfortable with change
