Pros

Honestly the only pro is that more than half the people don't know what they're doing and the other half is so new to the company (result of massive layoff/exodus.. go figure ), that you do have the power to make changes and make an impact. However, you'll most likely get so overwhelmed with workload eventually instead of process improvements your focus will only be on handing things in on time.

Cons

One of the worst if not the worst accounting job I've ever had. I was lured in by the fully remote and some equity pay and in the past worked for tech companies that pay very well, provide equity , work life balance, are innovative, etc and was foolish to thing that's how Axon would be. I was so wrong. They are operating as a startup with a global company work load. Most have no outside experience or are so new they can't help. It creates a super toxic environment since everyone is trying not to take on more work or get fired, and becomes super siloed. I know once a Senior Director, Senior Manager, and Manager quit all within my first month that it wasn't just me - this was a terrible place to work. I ended working weekends just to keep up with the deliverables since me as a person I try and do my best and historically never miss deadlines etc. There were contractors assisting. After working myself to the bone I come to find the work I was doing was previously done by 2/3 people that recently quit/were fired. Go figure. Terrible leadership and management, no clue what's going on. Had a VP not even understanding close processes under his team. I couldn't believe the disconnect. This is my first and only Glassdoor review and I'm only leaving this in hopes that I save someone else from making such a terrible career decision. It took me months to find another job after leaving and now I'm so happy and actually making more money than at Axon. Don't make the same mistake I did, even if you are desperate, trust me there are much much better jobs and companies to work for I promise.

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.
