I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Axon in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview was dominated by repetitive “risk management / situational” questions that felt more like checking boxes than assessing real engineering capability. Several prompts asked for examples of mistakes or “what went wrong” in ways that seemed to expect a specific corporate-style framework answer. The conversation kept circling back to the same theme multiple times, with little time spent validating depth in technical skills.

You don’t have the full requirements - how would you manage the risk?

Interview
The interview process involved 5 total interviews. A systems design screening followed by 4 interviews (2 coding, 1 system design, 1 behavioral), with one of them being on site. The process was overall very smooth with fast follow-up between the screen and full interview scheduling. The recruiter was transparent, and the interviewers were all involved during the interviews, following lines of thinking and asking probing questions.

Question 1
A realistic data structures question with multiple parts
The interviews went well. The difficulty level was easy to moderate. I had two interviews with LeetCode-style questions, one system design, and one behavioral. After going through all the rounds, I was ghosted by the recruiter.
They didn't even care to give me a rejection after going through the final round of on-site interview.
