What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

A lot of PTO and a lot of health insurance options

Review from Legal Dept

The pay is great and the ancillary benefits are very nice. I do sometimes wish that I was closer to the Arlington office to get to use some of the benefits associated with that as well though.

Review from Legal Dept

The totality of the comp + benefits

Review from Executive Dept

I think they offer competitive compensation

Review from Operations Dept

Stock options were the best part of my compensation package.

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

We are underpaid compared to our direct competitors in the industry, and without a 401K Match system (and no more stock options) our compensation package does not stand up well. We've lost candidates due to this very issue.

Review from Operations Dept

I'm currently performing the same duties as others on my team who are paid more than me.

If there were a level of transparency across my team to understand why other team members are given certain titles/compensation compared to others, that would be helpful. As it stands now, it seems as though I am doing the same duties + tasks as team members with higher titles + salaries.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Just make it a bit higher!

Review from HR Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

They are supportive, thoughtful and brave.

Review from Operations Dept

Everyone is incredibly nice. Axios really lives by its "No Jerks" policy, which I truly appreciate.

Review from Legal Dept

We are a small team but all get along great. Working with them comes naturally and that makes a huge difference in productivity.

Review from Legal Dept

No jerks, high performance, nice

Review from Executive Dept

Everybody cares abour their job and wants to do it well. I never hear people complaining or trying to pass tasks off to others. Everybody seems in it together, fighting for the success of the company

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

I liked that it was a very intensive interview process. It was not a one and done deal. I must have talked to at least 4 different people before I was given an offer. Originally I was not a fan, but now I know they really wanted to see if I would be a good fit for the role and community.

Review from Customer Success Dept

You meet everyone who you work with closely.

Review from Engineering Dept

Meeting folks from different areas in the business.

Review from Operations Dept

It was thorough and fair.

Review from Operations Dept

When I get into flow state working on a project.

Review from Legal Dept

The people that I get to work with.

Review from Legal Dept

The mission + people + journalism

Review from Executive Dept

That I feel valued and trusted. Nobody is breathing down your neck about minutes you've clocked. It's clear that if you work hard and get the job done, thats what matters. If you dont, you probably are in the wrong job.

Review from Operations Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
