Pros

A few employees were hardworking and knowledgeable in their roles.

Cons

- The environment was relentlessly demanding with nonstop pressure to hit aggressive targets despite clearly insufficient resources. - Leadership communication was inconsistent and chaotic, with decisions often made without any real understanding of operational impact. - Work-life balance was extremely poor, and burnout felt widespread and unavoidable. - There was a glaring disconnect between upper management and frontline teams that made effective operations nearly impossible.

Limited growth in a fear-driven culture

Pros

Only pro here is that certain roles will let you operate above your title, e.g. exposure to sides of the job reserved for senior roles at other firms. 15 days PTO to start is actually not terrible either. Great coworkers depending on your team.

Cons

Too many to list here, but will try. Main issue here is the top-down culture of fear and internal politics, as the entire bank is at the whim of one person. Managers are exclusively concerned with looking good in front of the CEO, and even top SVPs are terrified to be honest with him. SVPs routinely complain about not being able to get comp raises for employees, while simultaneously being terrified to ask. Do not expect your manager to go to bat for you if it in any way involves being assertive. If you want to work for a borderline alt-right CEO who belittles employees openly, this is your spot. The only people that thrive here are those who have never worked elsewhere and do not know what a real company looks like. Looking forward to the HR denial response here too. Some other cons: - Zero WFH allowed - Below market compensation across all roles - Stock bonus vesting schedule that take 4 years to fully vest

Axos is a performance-driven environment with a clear expectation of accountability, transparency, and results at every level. Leaders are expected to advocate for those who are performing on their teams, have direct conversations, and drive outcomes. Many employees thrive in this environment because it provides meaningful responsibility, exposure to leadership, and the opportunity to contribute beyond a narrowly defined role. Compensation and rewards are managed through structured processes aligned to market data, business performance, and individual contribution. Equity programs are designed to promote long-term alignment and retention, which is standard practice across the industry. Our onsite model is intentional and supports collaboration, speed of decision-making, and execution, key differentiators for our business. While that model may not be the right fit for everyone, it is clearly communicated and consistently applied. We continue to focus on attracting and retaining high-performing talent who are motivated by impact, ownership, and the opportunity to build in a fast-paced environment.

Pros

Some of the people were actually helpful and the location wasn't terrible.

Cons

The biggest problem was that nobody seemed to have the slightest clue what anyone else was doing. It felt like working inside isolated groups that barely functioned as part of the same organization. You would spend weeks working on a project only to discover another team had already been doing the exact same thing the entire time, which became infuriating almost immediately. Information never moved between teams because everything was either hidden away, poorly documented, or ignored completely, and hours disappeared trying to figure out what actually existed or what had already been created. Meetings turned into groups of people blindly guessing at everyone else's priorities because nobody had visibility into anything beyond their own corner. The entire place felt disconnected and directionless, with teams stumbling around in the dark and absolutely no reliable system for getting critical information to the people who actually needed it.

Our organization operates across multiple business lines, where collaboration and clear communication are important to delivering strong outcomes. Team members are encouraged to actively engage, ask questions, and leverage available resources to stay aligned and informed throughout their work. Effective project execution requires ongoing coordination, verification, and cross functional visibility, and we emphasize the importance of confirming information and connecting with the right stakeholders early and often. As a growing organization, we continue to refine how teams share information and work together across departments. We hope you addressed your concerns through appropriate channels during your time here.
