Pros

First and foremost, Axon has an amazing mission. I was excited to be a part of that.

Cons

There’s zero work life balance. They tout “non-accrued PTO” , which they say is unlimited but there’s a hard cap at 3 weeks. Making it very hard to travel internationally if you don’t live in the US. You’re expected to work 12 hour days and be perfect at all times. There can be no slip ups, burn out, or any idea that you’re exhausted. It’s often been said “40 hours is the floor not the ceiling”, meaning it’s expected to go well beyond a normal workweek consistently and leadership pushes that. When you spend weeks preparing an update for Jeff Kunins, he will spend 30 minutes berating you on how you wrote 2 sentences, instead of focusing on the actual problem. If Jeff decides he wants something done, you are to make it happen and give no opinion. All company values go out the door at that moment. Axon is growing at a pace that it’s obvious they don’t know what direction to go. They won’t listen to leaders they’ve hired or promoted to help get us to the larger mission.

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.
