Pros

Exceptional mission: building product that saves lives Unicorn-esque growth: the company is scaling as fast as the hottest startups Customer connection: we have a great relationship with our customers Open, evolving culture: the software engineering team is highly collaborative and fast moving Limitless opportunities: within the company overall but especially within the SW engineering team, there are tons of opportunities to take on big challenges Fun challenges: the tech stack is interesting and we have problems in security/encryption, computer vision, high-scale, UX, infrastructure, IoT/firmware, mobile, desktop; whatever floats your boat, we've got it Huge brand: everyone has heard of TASER and almost everyone is interested in the products and company

Cons

The company is growing fast. Lots of people say they want to work for a growing company but actually mean they want to work for a big company that has a lot of customers. TASER is a smallish company that is growing fast. We have some challenges that are specific to this phase of our lifecycle but for the right kind of person these can be extremely interesting and fun. But if you're put off by minor frustrations and a little bit of chaos, TASER isn't a good fit.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
