Pros

Salary PTO Benefits Cross functional team members

Cons

We were lied to for several months and just experienced a mass layoff. The leaders lack clarity and vision and has been struggling to hit numbers as an organization. At one point we were told they would never do layoffs, because if they did, it was a reflection on them, but now the time has come, and it speaks volumes. They have pushed so many great people out and if you speak up for what is wrong, you are let go or eliminated very fast. Lots of pending legal issues due to how employees are treated. Lacks diversity (women and other races)

Thank you for your feedback. We did decide to no longer have an account management team at Axonius. This was no reflection on the individuals on the team, and we treated everyone with respect and dignity. It was a hard decision and we appreciate the impact it has, and are offering support in multiple ways. Thank you for everything you did while you were at Axonius. -Nick Degnan, SVP, Sales

Pros

Great product solving real cybersecurity problems. Smart, motivated team that’s still pretty humble for a company growing this fast. Feels like there’s a lot of opportunity ahead.

Cons

Typical growing pains of a fast-scaling company. Some shifts in strategy and leadership over time as the company matures. The current roadmap is strong.

Pros

Axonius is genuinely one of the best companies I've had the privilege to work at. The culture isn't just a talking point on a slide, it's something you feel from day one. The people are smart, kind, and deeply collaborative. Everyone is aligned around the same values, and that alignment shows up in how decisions are made, how teammates treat each other, and how the company handles hard moments.

Cons

Honestly, it's hard to find real cons. Like any high-growth startup, things move fast and priorities can shift but that's part of the energy, not a flaw. If you want a slow, predictable environment, this might feel intense. I personally loved it.

We’re so grateful for your contributions to Axonius! - Nurit Shiber, Chief People Officer
