Pros
* One of the best benefits packages I've ever seen * Flat organizational structure which makes it easy to approach upper management (i.e., open-door policy) * A lot of incredibly smart people at Axios, Inc. * Upper management really cares about work/life balance of employees * You *can't* bring your work home with you * Work is technically interesting and rewarding * There is room for personal growth and room for career growth here too * Axios, Inc. feels more like a group of friends or family than a bunch of co-workers -- it's not unusual to hang out outside of work on the weekends, etc. * Due to the small teams, you are given a lot of responsibility, the likes of which you won't find at bigger companies * Bagel wednesday, burrito Friday, happy hours
Cons
* Working in this industry means not necessarily being on the bleeding edge of technology or development methodologies * It can be hard sometimes to directly see the impact of your work due to the nature of this industry * We've come a long way with recruitment, but we still have a ways to go * Some of the time it seems we tend to write "get it done code" -- I'd like to be able to write more tests and take more time with the software to ensure it's robust for our customer, but due to deadlines, this isn't always readily available or possible.
