Pros

- Everyone at TASER is passionate about their work, friendly, and talented. - Work-life balance is pretty good, though largely left up to the employee to maintain. As long as you are getting your stuff done, everyone is happy. - Company honestly makes an effort to do good in the world, despite the semi-frequent negative claims in the press.

Cons

- Company is experiencing some growing pains with the expansion into the software world, causing some strange tensions between departments.

Pros

TASER has a fun environment and a good culture. The weapons sell themselves and is a known established brand. The company utilizes the creativity of its employees

Cons

While trying to be innovative, they have launched a product that generally across the board is unsuccessful and unreliable. While AXON and evidence.com are good ideas, they have been executed hastily and what comes off as carelessly. There is also a common theme of intensively rushing things too fast, rather than simply evolving the company rapidly

TASER - One Great Roller Coaster Ride

Pros

Exciting - If you want to be part of changing the world, welcome to TASER Fun - If you want excitement, energy, and being in the action Stressful - Good stress - not bad stress. If it was easy then anyone could work here Titles Not Important - The job is key - not the title. If you can kick some tail go kick some tail. If not, this isn't for you. You get to do whatever you need to do to get the job done for the most part. You work for cops. These are frankly the toughest customers in the world but at TASER we've won their trust and we're trusted advisers here for them. It's on going so you don't get to rest on your laurels. But isn't what a job is supposed to require. Change is good here. We like that. Techie - it's all about using technology here to its maximum potential. We dream big here. We use Good to Great principles here for the most part. Great culture to work hard, play hard, and to do whatever it takes to get the job done

Cons

Little time for continuing education. Stressful - I said it was good stress. It is. But It can be tough on some of the employees if they are steeled in this environment. When we face controversy now it makes us release that we do have a tough job here but it also re-energizes most of the staff. Change is tough here. I just said it was good, but it's still tough now and then. But if we don't change, adapt and overcome, well... we'd be like dinosaurs so in the end that can be a con to some but for most we dig it.
