Preface this with I’ve been at axon for a few years now. Feel free to skip reading my opinion.
I don’t subscribe to the whole being loyal to a company we are a team stuff that many tech companies seem to have (you can’t always expect the same “loyalty” back once times are hard or stock price needs some help). I can say that in the time I’ve been here I’ve never seen any of this and I’ve been at corporate h.q. for much of that time (remote now). I haven’t been tased. Honestly I kind of wanted to and when I joined some folks I worked with said it was always an option if I wanted to. I kind of like the idea in some ways - we are selling these products to the police and others to use on people - it makes some sense to me to understand just what the use of our products entail in the instance to get the gravity of the situation etc.
All that being said if folks have felt this way that’s no good to me and I guess I can’t really speak to other teams in the company. I’m farther in my career and a middle age white guy, it’s always possible that I don’t experience a feeling of pressure, regardless of whether it is intended to be there, the same way younger or more junior folks might.
