Pros

The people: These are some of the brighest, hardest-working, most dedicated people I've ever met. They are earnestly committed to the art of continually improving things, of making things run better, and of dreaming up solutions that can only be described as truly out-of-the-box -- and then they make it happen. They are also kind, warm, and welcoming. They have so much heart!

Cons

The agency has had its share of ups and downs -- growing pains, if you will, with the emphasis on "growing" -- but it is now on a decidedly upward trajectory. But the tough times also revealed the best in the people, beginning with their fierce determination to use every challenge as an opportunity to get better, stronger.

Pros

Good benefits, vacation days. Decent compensation. Nice location in Boulder, CO. Tons of outdoor activities and other fun things to do.

Cons

The company name changed from Imulus to Axial. New name, same company. The new company goal is to squeeze money out of people in any way possible. Even if it means doing questionable things. Money over relationships ...period. Management has got a couple bad apples. Manipulative and will say anything to get what they want. The culture used to be great but went south. Everyone knows it but they don't know how to fix it.

Pros

A few talented developers, good medical and insurance benefits, a good office location in Boulder CO.

Cons

Unfortunately it seems Axial (previously Imulus) has changed their name to try and avoid their previous reputation. I recommend looking at the Imulus reviews on Glassdoor to see this company's true history. A once a great company, that cared deeply about employees and doing great work, is now dead. Their agency-quality website is a 3rd-party paid Wordpress theme called Oshine. And the same management that once fired people the day they returned from cancer treatment has continued their hurtful practices: deceitfully luring in talented new hires only to remove them months later. The head of operations and now part-owner seems to be learning on the fly, ignoring honest and respectable business practices at every turn (like paying freelancers on time and taking care of small clients). Before becoming a client or employee of Axial I recommend asking around and getting the whole story. Previous employees will be honest and are easy to track down on LinkedIn or Github.
