Mar 19, 2019This is the successor to Would You Take A Job At Axis? (2016 - Old) as a member asked for new advice and the old series is approaching 3 years old.

Mar 20, 2019i’m wondering what person, assuming they’re already in this industry, wouldn’t take a job at Axis?*
they’re basically the gold standard, no?
industry pioneers
quality product lines
market leading innovators
consistent financial performance
top-of-the-line employee benefits

Mar 20, 2019Axis is a unique culture...you will either last 2 years or 20. If you are just starting out or winding down your career it is a good stable place to be (I don't think they have ever had a lay-off). The organization is very flat so career growth opportunities are limited to lateral moves. If you are in sales your earnings may be capped or part of a "group number". They have got the math figured out to keep everyone in a nice tight band. That being said, they have good products/reputation, but are slow to innovate and they charge a premium.

Mar 20, 2019For sure. This is definitely a good year to work there. There used to be so many IP camera choices (2008-2016) but now.... (currently choice is similar to Boeing and/or Airbus - this year I am giving the nod to Airbus though).

Mar 20, 2019I would work anywhere as long as they offer at least 2 out of these 3 things:
1. Good money
2. Interesting work
3. Nice colleagues
The rest is irrelevant imho

Mar 20, 2019They do not pay as well as other manufacturers which is why they recruit so heavily out of college.

Mar 21, 2019Axis is a great place to work. Great products, great people and great culture. They have had some small layoffs, though. Their integrity in the industry is top notch. That is important and is considered a priority.

Can you clarify this? Did they lay people off or did they let people go? Their growth rate has been relatively high and they have been net hiring consistently so layoffs would be very noteworthy. Can you elaborate? if easier, you can email me confidentially at info@ipvm.com

Mar 21, 2019I stand corrected. Small camera line outside reps were repositioned, but some were let go, due to no openings.
