Pros

Axios does a great job of building a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive company culture. Managers work hard to make sure employees have what they need to succeed. We have annual learning and conference budgets so we don't let our skills stagnate. There's a detailed rubric to make it straightforward how to work toward a promotion. Company-wide OKRs (objectives & key results) are all brought down to each squad, and individuals have OKRs too, aligned to the promotion rubric. Professional development is prioritized unusually highly here. During the pandemic, Axios really stepped up. They added new benefits, like a budget for upgrading your home office ergonomics and a family fund in case any emergency befalls an employee's family.

Cons

I can't think of any

Pros

Everyone is excited to deliver the news to people in a clear, understandable way. People care about each other and work hard together. Leadership actively spends time listening to staff.

Cons

Sometimes that ambition can be exhausting. The founders are used to tough interviews and can sometimes keep their true opinions close.
