Pros

I've always loved Axon for its fast pace - if you work hard and put your customers first, you'll see results - type atmosphere. It was my first private sector job after years in public safety looking for a better work environment. Axon was that. Flexible schedule and as long as you got your work done, customers were taken care of with extreme care/consideration, you were left alone to do your work. It was the most perfect place to work. Pay is great when you start and stock benefits are plentiful!

Cons

Unfortunately, with time Axon has changed greatly. Management can be really hit or miss, which is anywhere. However focus has shifted (if not a sales rep or product) to a CYA type environment. Company values are mentioned often but not adhered to from leadership or by their actions. This brings me back to that toxic workplace environment that was policing. I still appreciate Axon but it's not the company I once admired. One very big miss as of late - moving up internally is now VERY hard to do. Many hurdles to jump over and while upper leadership says it's possible, it is not from an HR standpoint. This makes you very stagnant, career wise.

Pros

Mission and culture are great, has an amazing workforce. Good opportunities if you are pro-active and charismatic (well-liked).

Cons

Aside from Rick Smith, there is no respect to be had for an inconsistent, unprofessional, and out-right lying leadership.

Pros

People I worked with were great.

Cons

Terrible leadership. Acquisition after acquisition, no plans in place on how new products fit in the ecosystem, restructuring happens very often, and beware of being laid off. Profit over people.
