      Good Pay but no more Work Life balance

      Pros

      They pay you well. Their products are special and innovative. They provide you with everything you need to get your job done. All of the high-end tech stacks and Enterprise-Level tools (Slack, ChatGPT...) The team is big, lots of great coworkers. Engineers here are at a high level, which could be helpful to work with. Very customer-driven.

      Cons

      No more work-life balance. Very Amazon culture now. They shift to "work harder and much harder, or AI will replace you". So be very mindful if you want to join. This place is now a performative organization, where everyone tries to perform, or act as if they are performing at their best. The performance curve from Amazon is just a calibration tool based on upper management's needs. There was a case where an employee who needed development was rated Achieves because they just got promoted. Bad management recently, with constant changes in leadership and direction in a single year, caused significant execution trouble. VPs and Directors do not care about employees' mental health. I think they don't care for their own either, in order to keep their job.

      Pros

      Great company if you want to work hard to get paid really well. You will be expected to work more than your typical 40 hrs and it is a performance driven culture. Mission of protecting life is at the forefront of everything for the company. Leadership of Rick Smith and Josh Isner are very good, they stick to their values, are as transparent as they can be, and really believe Axon can change the world. Most positions at Axon are given equity.

      Cons

      Unlimited PTO, but that is a scam that no one really gets to take as it is advertised. Used to be that the company was fully remote outside of location specific and operations type roles, but now the company has move back to 4 days a week in office for only new hires. Internal promotions are often smaller in pay bumps and sometimes overlooked for external hires.
