Pros

CEO is mission-driven, knows what he wants to accomplish, and believes in what he does and the people that make it happen. Much of the lower and middle management keeps their teams focused. The best teams provide amazing learning opportunities and career growth.

Cons

CTO and C-Suite are slowly turning Axon into another Amazon. Stack ranking, forces team members to compete against each other for promotions and raises. Undermines "Join Forces" and "Win Right." As much as Rick is mission-driven, the CTO is image-driven. Difficult to get the resources we need to get our jobs done. Can't approve expenses for computers, and IT doesn't have computers and equipment.

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.
