      One of the worst companies I've worked for

      Accounting
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Honestly the only pro is that more than half the people don't know what they're doing and the other half is so new to the company (result of massive layoff/exodus.. go figure ), that you do have the power to make changes and make an impact. However, you'll most likely get so overwhelmed with workload eventually instead of process improvements your focus will only be on handing things in on time.

      Cons

      One of the worst if not the worst accounting job I've ever had. I was lured in by the fully remote and some equity pay and in the past worked for tech companies that pay very well, provide equity , work life balance, are innovative, etc and was foolish to thing that's how Axon would be. I was so wrong. They are operating as a startup with a global company work load. Most have no outside experience or are so new they can't help. It creates a super toxic environment since everyone is trying not to take on more work or get fired, and becomes super siloed. I know once a Senior Director, Senior Manager, and Manager quit all within my first month that it wasn't just me - this was a terrible place to work. I ended working weekends just to keep up with the deliverables since me as a person I try and do my best and historically never miss deadlines etc. There were contractors assisting. After working myself to the bone I come to find the work I was doing was previously done by 2/3 people that recently quit/were fired. Go figure. Terrible leadership and management, no clue what's going on. Had a VP not even understanding close processes under his team. I couldn't believe the disconnect. This is my first and only Glassdoor review and I'm only leaving this in hopes that I save someone else from making such a terrible career decision. It took me months to find another job after leaving and now I'm so happy and actually making more money than at Axon. Don't make the same mistake I did, even if you are desperate, trust me there are much much better jobs and companies to work for I promise.

      Poor management and leadership

      Pros

      Line employees were amazing to work with.

      Cons

      Management has favourites. Night shift supervisor will lie when feeling threatened by another person's abilities. HR isn't always willing to speak to employees. Supervisors and managers pretend to care as long as it makes them look good. Supervisors lie on official documentation. Proper investigations done on the night shift consist of he said/ she said testimonies. No such thing as a verbal or written warning, they consider "is everything alright?" as an acceptable "verbal warning".

      Great mission, used by upper management to burn out good people

      Pros

      Fantastic mission, heartfelt by the company founder and CEO. It's wonderful to do work that contributes to providing law-enforcement with better tools, in order to make the world better for everyone.

      Cons

      Burnout machine. You'll get average compensation while the fantastic mission is dangled in front of you to get you to work even harder.
