Pros
The only pro is what little remains of the original Axis41.
Cons
Merkle has a laughable approach to business management. Axis is now struggling to be profitable because of it. Merkle intentionally stopped all marketing efforts for Axis41 and atrophied the brand (New Coke). Axis's employee culture is now corporate and boring. Employee retention plummets as they lose lots of top employees even when offering to match or beat offers. Axis just did a round of layoffs. Meanwhile, some employees are being overworked. Clients seem to be feeling it, too. The employee title integration, retracting accrued PTO, the insurance transition, the paycheck snafu. The list could go on. Axis is nothing like it used to be and Merkle is to blame.
