Pros

Been here 4+ years now, great mission as a company, and great execution by the product and marketing team at bringing new law enforcement tech to the market at the right time. Our stock price over the last 4 years perfectly captures this growth. Love my immediate manager and team, hardworking and lots to learn from each other. Great work life balance too.

Cons

Over the past few years, hardware leadership in scottsdale has changed drastically and it brought with them lots of toxic workplace politics similar to large companies. A bunch of hardworking employees that have been devoted to the company for the last 10+ years felt left out/ pushed out and they all left one-by-one. Effectively career progression for hardware engineers is non-existent. Sad to see this happen to what was once a great Taser and Camera hardware team. However, I still believe in the executive leadership (CEO/President) team and the mission of the company.

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.
