      Culture of Fear - Senior Software Engineer Axon Employee Review

      Pros

      - Nice office in Seattle - Flexible work hours, vacation and WFH policies

      Cons

      - Culture of fear: engineers and other employees are constantly let go with no reason specified - we just get an email saying person X is no longer with Axon. Feels horrible not to know the reasons especially when otherwise great, commited employees are fired - Collaboration is virtually non-existent. There's no teams at Axon. Just a bunch of individuals trying to work together. The head phones policy (a person wearing a head phone can't be interrupted - Slack first), coupled with very flexible WFH policies, means most people are inaccessible most of the time. Slack is used to communicate with the engineers right by the side as there's really no personal relationships here - Extremely week leadership where people are forced to work based on fear; zero team building activities; no real options are given for self learning and development; career building here is a non-existent word

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

      Cons

      Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
