Pros
I met some great people here, but there are great people at better companies elsewhere as well.
Cons
Axial will create this image of a professional company with a fun, relaxed environment where you can grow your career. Don't believe a single world. In reality it's a place with quite a few young people with overinflated titles tooting their own horns for their mediocre work handling projects beyond the scope of their responsibility and actual capability. In my few years at Axial, I saw a lot of great talent revolve through those doors due to a lack of support and leadership. There is no meritocratic upward mobility. It only exists if your manager leaves, or if you've been there long enough and golf with the right people. People with no experience are rewarded with senior positions. There are some people there that all I wanted to do whenever I had the unfortunate circumstance of needing to work with them is interrupt them and ask what is it they actually know how to do well other than blow hot air. The executive leadership can't be trusted. They would get up up to speak, and all I could hear was parseltongue. " ... we're on a great trajectory hisssssss, belieeeeeve in our mission hisssss... surprise layoffs hissssss.... there won't be anymoreeeee hissss kidding hisssss... " The grass is not always greener on the other side, but you'd be hard pressed to find a worse patch than Axial.
