Pros
I have enjoyed working at Axios since I got hired - it is an exciting place to work with a lot of brilliant people who are not afraid to break the status quo. Mostly this works out really well. People (HR) team is creative and supportive with ways to make everyone feel included and involved. Transparency from leadership is valued and not just in words alone - they really practice it every day. It is nice to be regularly given specific, honest updates on the status of the company. Lots of fun perks like snacks, religious holidays off, and a very nice Arlington VA office. Retreats are a blast. Culture is strong and continually improved on, even across multiple offices and remote employees. Transition to all remote with covid situation has been as flawless as it can be and I feel well cared for despite the situation.
Cons
No 401k match. Leadership stresses confidentially about salaries (this is a personal thing and not enforced in any way, but this can be a con for some people). Company is growing fast and you need to be ready to put in the time and be able to pivot if necessary. Somewhat restrictive social media guidelines for personal accounts.
