Pros
There are a few genuinely fun, nice and helpful people at Axial. Other than that, there's good coffee and sometimes free lunch.
Cons
Everything about Axial is smoke and mirrors. The CEO and senior management lie to employees and even to potential investors. HR and hiring managers lie to interviewees about the job, company, etc. The sales team can only close deals if they lie to their prospects. Everything Axial tells you is false, from the company's revenue to the number of clients to the number of deals on the platform. Most of the "client testimonials" on the website are actually from investors in Axial. It's all a sham. The culture at Axial is a cross between a frat house and an insane asylum. The CEO is a delusional rich kid using his family money to pretend he's Mark Zuckerberg. Hirings, firings and promotions are mostly decided by who you drink with or go to the gym with. The product is a disaster. The salespeople are great at conning new clients into signing up for an initial 6 month contract, but Member Success can't get anyone to renew because the product is a mess and the quality of deals on the platform are terrible. Engineering can't do anything to fix the product issues because there is zero leadership or sense of direction from the CEO and senior managers. Everyone is just making it up as they go along. Work life balance is a joke. The CEO is constantly rambling on about Axial's corporate values and policy of no "face-time", but the reality (especially for Engineering and Member Success) is that you're expected to work long hours for way below market pay. Even if you're not busy, expect to be judged if you're not sitting in our cramped, filthy office for 11-12 hours a day for half of what you could be making elsewhere.
