Vantaggi

Leadership (from the founders on down) has a person-first approach to engaging staff. Although we take our work very seriously and much is expected, we are given the utmost respect and treated as human beings with opinions, feelings, and lives outside of Axios. In the midst of this pandemic, Jim VandeHei has been SUPER communicative and transparent about decisions made and future plans for the company that have a goal of protecting us all. He is truly a war-time CEO who leads with grace and calm in the midst of chaos, which gives me hope and eases my anxiety during this time.

Svantaggi

Benefits aren't bad, they could be more robust but for a 3-year-old company I'd say we're doing pretty good there and I think our benefits will evolve as we grow.

Vantaggi

It's the least toxic newsroom I've ever worked in (which isn't saying much) BUT my colleagues genuinely care about me and vice versa. Leadership is pretty transparent and regularly communicates with staff, even when it's hard. I've been given room to grow and learn, and I've seen similar opportunities arise for others.

Svantaggi

There have been some growing pains as the company leaves its start-up era.

Svantaggi

Other recent reviews are spot on. Culture and morale has deteriorated in recent years, along with any sense of clarity or direction around the company’s mission and goals. The company seems to be growing too quickly with little strategy. Management will make a show of seeking feedback, but companywide decisions are made abruptly and are handed down from the very top. Layoffs have become a frequent occurrence. The institutional focus is less on fostering quality news gathering and sharing, and more on bolstering the appearance that the CEO is some sort of AI guru. Employees are pushed to “use AI” as much as possible with little direction or resources, and concerns about the tech’s limitations are brushed off. The results? Low quality “AI tools,” and a high tolerance for slop oozing its way into previously high quality output. Leadership and a few favorites receive praise, promotions and preferential treatment, but generally employees burn out quickly from frenetic pacing, understaffing and constantly shifting priorities. Many are either checked out or looking for other opportunities. Stay far away.
