      TOXIC culture avoid at all costs

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None to speak of any more. Maybe a good name for a CV

      Cons

      The company used to be a good place to work. Culture has shifted. It's now an Amazon colony. Heavy pip culture with I regretted attrition targets. AI is pushed so heavily that you can't do good quality work. People leaving in droves, either taking a paid voluntary exit or being fired. You don't get to find out. You just realise you haven't heard from someone in a few weeks and realise their account is deactivated Exhausting, perma crunch. Company is allergic to putting anything in writing. Unpaid on call. Hostile work environment. If you don't have the Amazon brain disease you won't go far UK boss is threatening. Actively mocks people who talk about wanting to make the place they work better "if you don't like it quit" If you do have any criticisms, you're essentially a traitor and don't support the mission. The company is a cult, they even tattoo people with the logo. Imagine getting pipped by the company who logo you got permanently branded on you

      Great projects but poor leadership and declining culture

      Sr data analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome projects to work on and great mission to get behind

      Cons

      Leadership doesn't understand the technical side and doesn't listen to employee on explaining whats really going on. Culture is going down hill and it started out amazing. Leaders aren't afraid to throw employee's under the buss to save themselves.

      Fired multiple people on paternity leave

      Senior product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cool gear, pockets of sharp co-workers

      Cons

      New boss fired one of my coworkers while that coworker was on paternity leave. Eight months later I was fired shortly after announcing my own intent to go on paternity leave. That boss is still with the company. Do not recommend to anyone planning to have kids or to people who care about those planning to have kids. Axon has also turned into a toxic high-turnover culture in general due to invasion of former Amazon employees across the management team since the Amazon layoffs.
