At Taser maker Axon, ex-staffers say loyalty meant being tased or tattooed

Axon hosted an AI meeting in Seattle recently. Their office was a bit...much. There were these weird spaceship-looking doors that opened to the office itself and the theme was very much "you are in a scifi space ship". I didn't get any vibes that this would be a place wherein you'd have to be tased, though. Bad if true.

I've been to the Seattle office you described for interviews and to the Scottsdale HQ, which is a normal very modern but not bespoke office building; it's in Scottsdale where they had the display of tasers and the offer to be tased if you wanted to see how it was.

(I was just interviewing, and the people seemed quite normal, but i hadn't worked on what i was being interviewed for, and screwed up a puzzle, so never joined.)

So Axon isn’t my cup of tea for a lot of reasons but if I were building tasers, I’d definitely want to know what I was doing to my er customers. I’d absolutely get myself tased during the interview.
