Pros

The pay has increased drastically to contribute to employee retention rates since departments have seen significant losses and complaints in past few years. The business is growing due to quality products and the company is rapidly expanding. They provide standard office culture. Management is caring and open to feedback and change within reason. Every complaint is taken seriously, everyone is included as a part of the culture.

Cons

Axis seems out of touch with its emphasis on culture and benefits. It overpromises and underdelivers. There are many other employers in the area that invest in culture and better pay. It feels underwhelming to new people joining the company. Tasks are being reduced and outsourced to Sweden and Czech Republic, leaving US office hanging for months, which is glossed over during interviews. It is impossible to get things done on time and if your job involves sales or customers it means you become a punching bag. Management is caring but is slowly becoming preoccupied with numbers and bonuses. Growth is limited by tenure and country, and all important decisions are made in Sweden, so US office isn't given any voice to make changes.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. While we are thrilled with the many pros you have listed, we believe critical feedback is equally as important in order to learn. It’s an exciting time for Axis on many fronts. We are always looking for ways to improve and make our processes more effective and robust. As we grow, we will continue to focus on the core values and culture that have distinguished us in the technology industry. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Great pay, training, benefits and people. 3 weeks vacation to start? Ok! With the world headquarters being based in Sweden, this company has a different approach to employee benefits and personal time than most all other US-based companies. Their compensation package was generous. And probably best of all was that the people working for the company were sharp, positive, and had very little stuffing in their shirts.

Cons

Trimmed up the company - five divisions turned into one.
