So much potential lost due to a few bad apples + horrible HR - Embedded Software Engineer Axis Communications Employee Review

Pros

Super interesting technology, a lot of smart people, big focus on working together. Company develops their own ASIC, which allows for super interesting work for engineers. Great people and great products.

Cons

No possibility for career growth. Company is quickly losing control of its growth and of its different departments. In the last couple of years the experts and seniors are leaving at a faster pace. Constantly saw experts with 10, 15, sometimes 20 years of experience still stuck at the initial stage of engineering role. That is plainly unacceptable. Absurdly low salary, several bad apples that are not dealt with for years. Bad apples are both 1) Engineers in the team (not doing anything - literally - and just left to themselves since there is nothing the manager can do apparently.) 2) Managers. My manager was actually a bully to everyone that disagreed with him, mentioned problems in the team, or complained about salary. He went as far as shun people that started questioning his ways of working. HR was absolutely no help and the only thing they did was enter a damage control state where they only talked to the manager and not with me.

Pros

Management is very supportive and will encourage you to grow both in your role and the company. There are a lot of travel opportunities especially in sales. Inside sales takes on a lot of responsibilities with customers and your regional sales managers giving opportunities to grow leadership skills.

Cons

Inside sales does not make as much as outside sales. Depending on location, it can be tough to transition to new roles.
