      A small company dealing with growing pains!

      Pros

      Very unique, leading edge products makes for an intriguing environment to work in. The office building is very high-tech and glamorous.

      Cons

      Despite leadership's intent to 'develop' within, the company has no career path program, and continues to onboard outside of the company.

      Strong leadership in sales, but weak marketing direction

      Pros

      The business is evidently successful and cash rich to experiment across all global markets. The sales team and leadership is exceptional and very knowledgeable in their area.

      Cons

      Marketing is led by one of the most inexperienced leader with no experience in marketing causing major lack of judgement. The Marketing EVP has managed to grow internally from department to department lacking real knowledge of growing, marketing or revenue generation in a B2G environment but she is exceptionally good in managing up.

      Rewarding, but very demanding

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Everyone I met was passionate about saving lives and building great products, in words and actions. Really inspiring. - Supportive and collaborative culture. The Company Kick-off (CKO) event brought everyone together, and showcased this part of working at Axon really well - Competitive salaries, only bested by BigTech and Finance - Unlimited* PTO (but see cons)

      Cons

      - Demanding workload and long hours. They do have a couple extra weeks a year where the company is shut, but getting through the year still feels exhausting. This seemed like the expectation company-wide (eg. everyone on my team did it, the CKO schedule started at 7am and went until late at night), so drawing boundaries seemed impossible to me. - People often take very little holiday, or even dial into meetings during holidays. The unlimited PTO is effectively misleading. - If you prorate the salary to factor in the (unpaid) overtime, there’s probably more competitive options out there. - Aggressive timelines, often driven by insufficient scoping and too-ambitious mindsets. It was unclear to me if this was ego-driven, or (saving lives) passion-driven - Lack of infrastructure support, every team I saw had to reinvent devops/k8s/observabllity which leads to duplicated effort and inconsistency in operations
