Pluspunten

The business is evidently successful and cash rich to experiment across all global markets. The sales team and leadership is exceptional and very knowledgeable in their area.

Minpunten

Marketing is led by one of the most inexperienced leader with no experience in marketing causing major lack of judgement. The Marketing EVP has managed to grow internally from department to department lacking real knowledge of growing, marketing or revenue generation in a B2G environment but she is exceptionally good in managing up.

Pluspunten

Sales at Axon is a unique environment—you’re selling mission-driven technology that genuinely matters, which is a huge motivator and differentiator versus traditional SaaS or device sales. Top performers thrive here because they can connect purpose with performance. That said, it’s not an easy role. Expectations are high, quotas are big, and success requires strong internal alignment, persistence, and the ability to navigate complex stakeholders. The environment rewards ownership and accountability—there’s not a lot of hand-holding. The best parts are the people and the mission. You’re surrounded by smart, driven teammates and have the opportunity to work on deals that have real-world impact. Compensation can be strong for those who perform, but like most sales orgs, outcomes are directly tied to execution. Bottom line: Great place for high performers who want purpose-driven selling and are willing to lean in—less ideal for those looking for a lower-pressure or highly structured sales environment.

Minpunten

Challenges include internal complexity at times and the need to manage across teams to get deals done. It’s a role for someone who is proactive, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving, evolving environment.

Pluspunten

Great mission, good benefits, flexible PTO, remote work

Minpunten

Culture is going downhill. External hires are brought on for leadership positions rather than hiring internally. Axon is a nuanced business in our practices, which makes external hires difficult especially when they have no regard or interest in hearing from tenured employees about current pain points. The boots on the ground workers are rarely listened too and if one tries to speak out about a potential issue in practice, its viewed as unwilling to adapt rather than proactive feedback on something that has already been tried before, leading to exhaustion and burn out from the tenured employees. Used to be a company where candor was expected and encouraged, but now it feels safer to just keep your head down. Flattening the org has led to experienced and tenured employees being let go where as new hires hired in at a higher salary are kept
