Pros

- Fancy entrance - Shiny new office - Great computer equipment - Body cams are big biz - Taser weapons are a monopoly

Cons

Product quality is terrible. The Body2s have had tons of issues. The car cams are barely usable in real world situations. The migration to Azure is a considered either a joke or a nightmare by most of engineering. Not surprisingly, they've carried their attitude straight from the weapons world; search for "Killing Them Softly" if you want to see how bad things are. Ever wonder why most of super positive 5 star reviews come in clusters? That's because they're written by HR. What do you expect from a company that thinks it's classy to ride a crappy boat in a pirate patch in order to "recruit" from google? The benefits are mostly terrible unless you're 21 and don't need proper healthcare and can survive solely on grand canyon trips. Good luck with the mostly flat stock price, you're not getting any stock grants anyway, because that's how Taser rolls. One of the other reviewers mentioned that there's a lot of ex-microsoft, google and amazon folks here. This is true; too bad it's all the rejects who couldn't hack it at a real company.

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.
