Why work at Axe Group?

Axe Culture

We are committed to being one of Australia’s most progressive software companies. The fact that we are a young, dynamic business without legacy means we're well positioned to achieve our vision. Axe Group has many characteristics that make it an attractive place to work. As a company we offer:

  • New challenges driving development - we constantly stretch you to build your capability
  • The camaraderie of a team environment - contributions are encouraged from all 
  • A sense of pride - not everyone works for an industry leader 
  • Generous rewards based on performance - a true meritocracy 
  • Lifestyle flexibility - we are not a typical 9-5 team and we are family friendly

The unique company ethos drives the four principles we abide by when it comes to our people and our clients:

  • We invest in people 
  • Fun, flexibility and involvement enhance productivity 
  • We have to work hard to stay at the forefront 
  • Client focus is paramount

We are an exciting place to work. We expect the best from our staff, but they are also expected to have fun. Why? Because life's too short not to!

Axe Commitment

As software developers, we know better than anyone that investing in our people is more crucial to our success than any other factor.

We are committed to building a diverse workforce of highly dedicated and able people.

We also understand that even for the very best, professional development is dependent on formal training exercises and informal guidance from commonly aligned peers and enthusiastic mentors. 

  • We want to develop staff for the long term and we'd like them to stay
  • We believe that the profits of success should be shared by the whole team
  • We believe that overlooked groups will provide many of the best people in the team
  • We believe good ideas can come from anywhere
  • We believe in sharing ideas so our workplace and work style support this

“I feel I'm in a pretty unique position with the exposure I have to people with so much professional experience, and I'm lucky that all this occurs in an environment where contributions are encouraged from all."  - By Axe Group Staff Member

Axe Flexibility

At Axe Group we are firmly committed to being one of Australia's most progressive software development companies. We believe in the importance of family and work / life balance  - an importance undervalued by many of our competitors. Axe Group offers the flexibility and facilities required to achieve this balance.

This is something we are keen to rectify and we look forward to watching other employers wake up to the fact that diverse workforces are more productive and better equipped to think outside the square.

We look forward to being able to bring overlooked groups back into fulfilling employment they're trained to do through our innovative employment packages and jobshare arrangements. The team dynamic is important to us.

  • We are here to have fun - life is too short not to enjoy your work
  • We're relaxed about the hours you work as long as the job gets done
  • We believe in work life balance and have chosen a location to support that

“There is enough flexibility to let you fit your lifestyle in. So no matter what your personal situation is you can work hard and contribute to the business without sacrificing work/life balance.” – By Axe Group Staff Member

Axe Innovation

At Axe Group we don't believe in sticking to the beaten path. Rather we prefer to blaze a trail for others to follow.

Our statement of “Innovation through Understanding” is the defining statement of our organisation.

Being at the forefront is a fun and exciting place to be, but it also requires a lot of hard work.

  • We're different - we are going to rock the software development market
  • We innovate - we don't accept the status quo because we don't think it's good enough
  • We embrace change - the software world is changing and we want to drive that change rather than just hitch a ride.

Axe Client Focus

At Axe Group we make sure that our people are 100% aligned with the interests of our customers. We have deliberately created a fee structure that does not incent our people to sell our customers something they don't need.

Each client's software project challenges need to be addressed in different ways. There is no such thing as a one size fits all approach.
From the very beginning of taking on a new client we focus all aspects of our solution specifically on their needs.

  • We think everyone who works here should understand and care about our customers
  • We will never sell our customers something they don't need

"Thrilling our customers, which means not just meeting but exceeding their expectations, is the single most important success factor in building our business." – By Axe Group Staff
