Pros

- fast-paced and dynamic environment, teams can get things done quite fast - the company values are indeed encouraged and demonstrated by people on different levels - good benefit package - friendly coworkers and pet friendly office

Cons

- Overall leadership seems inexperienced, they struggle to inspire people or keep up morale, very few senior folks in the team to look up to and get mentorship from. - Lots of junior devs who's only known AZ as the only job in their career so far, and without proper technical guidance. - Teams are not all treated equally by senior leadership team, some are clearly favored over others which demotivates employees. - not a bad place to start out or just have a job but little room for career growth

Pros

I have been working at Axiom Zen for several years now, which is a long time in a hot tech market. I love the team, the leadership, and our mission. I have never worked at a place that cared so much about its team. I am planning on staying at AZ for years to come!

Cons

Everyone is so impressive sometimes it's hard to feel like you're doing a good job yourself. We're starting to give regular feedback now so that will help us continue to do well and learn what we can improve on.

Pros

- Great culture. Amazing people! - Always interesting and challenging work to be done - In a distributed hierarchy, great trust is put on its people, with many opportunities to reach your full potential. You get a lot of freedom and your career path is yours to shape! - A lot of freedom in terms of what technologies/languages to use - Work hard play hard: yoga, meditation, ping-pong, Mario Kart, LAN parties, and many team activities outside of work - Many benefits, speaking opportunities, conferences, even book writing.

Cons

- You have to be ambitious. This is no place for slackers or coasters. While I can speak for myself that it is the perfect environment for me, it may not be for everyone. If you don't share the same ambition as the rest of the team, it may be hard on you, and drag the team down as well.
