      Great mission but declining culture and leadership concerns

      Pros

      Great mission, good benefits, flexible PTO, remote work

      Cons

      Culture is going downhill. External hires are brought on for leadership positions rather than hiring internally. Axon is a nuanced business in our practices, which makes external hires difficult especially when they have no regard or interest in hearing from tenured employees about current pain points. The boots on the ground workers are rarely listened too and if one tries to speak out about a potential issue in practice, its viewed as unwilling to adapt rather than proactive feedback on something that has already been tried before, leading to exhaustion and burn out from the tenured employees. Used to be a company where candor was expected and encouraged, but now it feels safer to just keep your head down. Flattening the org has led to experienced and tenured employees being let go where as new hires hired in at a higher salary are kept

      Thank you for your many years of dedication to our team and our mission, and thank you for your feedback. As we've continued to grow, we've worked hard to preserve our culture of ownership, candor, and continuous improvement that is at the heart of who we are at Axon. Candor and two-way feedback remain priorities, whether through regular 1:1s, leadership AMAs, engagement surveys, or ongoing conversations throughout the year. We want every teammate to feel empowered to speak up. We know some of the best insights come from the people closest to the work. If you're willing to share more about your experience, please reach out to peopleops@axon.com or directly to your leadership team. We'd love to hear from you.

      Fair pay undermined by layoffs and favoritism issues

      Pros

      Pay is decently fair compared to market value.

      Cons

      The organization has pursued aggressive growth that it was not fully prepared to support, which led to large-scale layoffs affecting many employees at the very beginning of the year. There are ongoing concerns around favoritism, particularly within People Operations, and a lack of accountability at various levels of leadership - from supervisors, manager, and above. Although candor is emphasized as a company value, it is not consistently reflected in practice. Compensation practices lack fairness and clarity, making it difficult for employees to understand or trust how raises and advancement decisions are made.
