Countless but here are the main ones -
1. Trying to be Amazon with Axon's vision, Taser leadership and mission. Ain't happening. Good luck!
2. No work-life balance.. NONE. Extremely under resourced with high churn but the work doesn't slow down. You get excited about the mission, you work passionately, put upwards of 50 hrs a week and yet the product doesn't launch and the real reason for launch failure is manipulated. The manipulators keep growing and the worker bees get yelled at in ridiculous number of review meetings.
3. Disrespectful treatment, use of foul language, demeaning tone and body language in meetings.
4. Expectations to get rolling without any training or real onboarding.
5. No alignment between R&D, sales and finance. Sales keeps winning with the power of OSP bundles and upper hand on hardware solutions.
6. ZBB is a joke.
7. Confusing structure in R&D - product managers are also project managers and sometimes engineering managers too. Engineering muscle is very weak and good talent is hard to retain.
