Pros

Excellent mission that is good for society. Interesting technical problems for engineers. Good pay. Leaders have passion to improve company and create awesome products. Leaders exhibit concern that employees have a life outside work - but also know how to work hard too.

Cons

Communication between teams and locations sometimes challenging. Career growth good at junior levels, bad in others. Overall career growth seems unimportant to execs. It is one aspect of culture rarely, if ever, addressed by management (excepting the "Leadership Development Program", which is for new hires, not existing employees.)

Pros

Company makes products that save lives. CEO Rick Smith is a down to earth, approachable and passionate in what he's doing. Most people there are nice and easy to work with. Nice work environment if you work in the front office. Company is financially sound. Car pool is provided.

Cons

Salary-Salary-Salary!!! Pay is very low for production employees and most employees are temps with very little chance to become permanent. Starting pay for temp is $9.50 per hour and stay at $9.50 forever until becoming permanent. Low pay also means low quality, low morale and high turnover. TASER has a big challenge retaining skilled workers. Pay for salary people is not great either and starting salary is lower than industry standard average. It's hard to attract and retain talents if pay is not right. Mid level management runs the company but it is weak and full of politics. Working environment for production people is bad, the place is very noisy but no ear protection provided. Smoking area is next to employee entrance and so you practically smoke 10 hours a day even you don't want to.
