Pros

A few talented developers, good medical and insurance benefits, a good office location in Boulder CO.

Cons

Unfortunately it seems Axial (previously Imulus) has changed their name to try and avoid their previous reputation. I recommend looking at the Imulus reviews on Glassdoor to see this company's true history. A once a great company, that cared deeply about employees and doing great work, is now dead. Their agency-quality website is a 3rd-party paid Wordpress theme called Oshine. And the same management that once fired people the day they returned from cancer treatment has continued their hurtful practices: deceitfully luring in talented new hires only to remove them months later. The head of operations and now part-owner seems to be learning on the fly, ignoring honest and respectable business practices at every turn (like paying freelancers on time and taking care of small clients). Before becoming a client or employee of Axial I recommend asking around and getting the whole story. Previous employees will be honest and are easy to track down on LinkedIn or Github.

Pros

It's a collaborative team where everybody's voice is heard. They are always open to trying out new technologies and new tools that the employees want to try. They pay full insurance for their employees and do free lunches for everyone every Friday, not to mention the occasional sushi nights. Cool office with a cool atmosphere. Management who cares about employee needs and concerns.

Cons

This is a company that's been dealt a couple of rough blows recently so you should think of them a little like a startup with a smaller team. They have a new identity and restructured management. It's not the kind of place where all of the processes and procedures are pre-defined and set in stone because people tend to wear a lot of hats. At times it can seem a little chaotic. So if you work there, you'll have to contribute to defining those things. If that's your thing, then that's great.
