Thanks for taking the time to submit a review about your employment with Axon. We agree! We have a phenomenal mission to Protect Life. Axon is convening a diverse coalition of individuals and entities with the drive and ability to help cut gun-related deaths between police and the public in half by 2033. This is a complex issue with many facets that requires commitment, change and solutions from all angles. We believe, if employees are at their best, then so are we. That's why we review our compensation bands annually and operate on a total compensation plan, meaning compensation is made up of base pay, bonus, and stock awards.
