Pros

Company leadership really cares about the people who work for them. They trust the people they've hired. They listen and are remarkably transparent about their decision making. The best reason to work for Axios is the talented, kind people who work there. It's remarkable the level of skill, passion and hard work that employees have. On top of that, they are all genuinely good people. It's a truly innovative company. It's inspiring to be a part of a company that is future leaning, willing to experiment and changing the face of media.

Cons

Axios still embraces the work hard and move fast culture of a startup — if you're looking for more structure and specified roles, it's probably not the place for you.

Pros

The leadership team has our back, and we can advocate for ourselves. I appreciate the way we are thoughtful about big decisions and hope the level of communication holds past the coronavirus crisis.

Cons

It's a startup: The hours can suck, the pay scale isn't as generous as the established firms, and you're always working with a leaner team and fewer resources than you'd prefer.
