Axon

"As a woman and mother having a career "home" that supports the life you have with your family is critical. Axon does a great job at providing that flexibility and grace that I needed at this stage in my life without stress, guilt, or judgement. "

"There's so much respect from every level. Everyone is mission-driven in our work that there's support from multiple directions to achieve our professional and personal goals."

"Axon has a genuinely collaborative and supportive company culture. Instead of paying just paying lip service to diversity, I've seen the principles actually put into practice throughout the company and at all leadership levels. "

"Axon represents an unmatched combination of a true mission-driven culture and a high-growth, high-speed software company. There may be other companies like it, but Axon is a perfect fit for me right now."

"There are great opportunities at Axon for development and growth. I've had several opportunities to move into leadership roles as an IC. Our mission truly aims to make a positive impact on society and make everyone safer which really resonates with me. As a parent of a young child, Axon has been very flexible when I need to work a different schedule to juggle childcare for either illness or daycare closures. I've also been able to work remotely which really helps my work-life balance. My management is clear that family comes first and it shows."

"At first glance you'll see mostly men in executive and C suite positions but the company is aware and actively working on it. Since I started 2 years ago, I've seen many women get promotions into leadership roles and it encourages me. I do believe axon is a great place for anyone and everyone to build and grow their career."

"Fast paced, rewarding, new challenges everyday, & ability to drive your career in start up like environment"

"This is a vibrant, fast-paced company, with women in numerous executive and key leadership positions. Ample room for growth, development & upward mobility. "

"I have never felt so heard or seen in my role before. My internal team is male dominated, but the team we report up to has majority female leadership and women actually outnumber the men overall on this larger scale team. Even though my boss and my senior teammates are men, I've never felt excluded. When I first started they would volley me questions in large conversations. They make room for me. They made me feel like my opinion matters and that I can make room for myself. It really made me feel welcome in a way I haven't yet experienced in my career. My boss has a plan for my career in the same way he does for everyone on our team, and he always is my advocate. He protects my time, and I've seen him go out of his way to make sure I'm not doing admin-work or party-planning type of stuff that's outside of my role. These little things really add up to make a huge impact. Even though my role is mostly remote, there are a ton of events, classes, and lunch discussions over zoom with our women's affinity group that makes me feel like I have a support system when I need it or when I want to learn something new. People don't hesitate to welcome you at Axon and I really appreciate it about the culture. "

"I've worked at Axon for about 2.5 years. I cannot express how lucky I feel to work here. Personally speaking, I feel leadership on my team truly cares about my growth in my field and genuinely is committed to helping me grow. I am quite young and this is my first job out of college. I have received more leadership opportunities and responsibility here than I would have in any of the other jobs I was looking at postgrad. This has helped build my confidence and also made it quite clear to me where my skills fall short, and where I need to improve. I would also note I think that comp is extremely generous at Axon, and given COVID-19 has seemed to permanently allow the ability to work from home when you want/need to, I truly think the work-life balance on my team is great."
