Pros

Fast moving, market leader that maintains a startup culture. Extremely rewarding missions and fantastic results over the last 5 years. Management addresses personnel issues head on, and strives to continually put together the best team possible. Compensation is high for the Phoenix area.

Cons

Company is not for everyone. Must be motivated and driven, and focused on results.

Pros

Getting a bonus every quarter. Gets a half year off when you have a child. 6 months for women and 3 months for men.

Cons

Front office is treated like they own the company, get lunches weekly, custom made shoes, while manufacturing get 2 slices of pizza at quarterly meeting. No communication within the whole company. Losing great people because they want to pay kids straight out of college.

Pros

Exceptional mission: building product that saves lives Unicorn-esque growth: the company is scaling as fast as the hottest startups Customer connection: we have a great relationship with our customers Open, evolving culture: the software engineering team is highly collaborative and fast moving Limitless opportunities: within the company overall but especially within the SW engineering team, there are tons of opportunities to take on big challenges Fun challenges: the tech stack is interesting and we have problems in security/encryption, computer vision, high-scale, UX, infrastructure, IoT/firmware, mobile, desktop; whatever floats your boat, we've got it Huge brand: everyone has heard of TASER and almost everyone is interested in the products and company

Cons

The company is growing fast. Lots of people say they want to work for a growing company but actually mean they want to work for a big company that has a lot of customers. TASER is a smallish company that is growing fast. We have some challenges that are specific to this phase of our lifecycle but for the right kind of person these can be extremely interesting and fun. But if you're put off by minor frustrations and a little bit of chaos, TASER isn't a good fit.
