Pros

Great Product, I have some friends who bank with Axos with great things to say about it. Additional I was a part of team where I enjoyed working with my Manager and other team members. Axos offered some good perks as well such great coffee machines and high bonus potential.

Cons

Axos reminds me of Wall Street in the 90s, the culture is very much work long hours and you were always reminded that this was not a 40 hour work environment. However I found that I was put on projects that were just "busy work." Pushing papers just to say that you put in a 60 hour week, because the more hours you work the "harder" you are working. People who did not work extra hours would be called "soft." Additional working with the CEO was like walking on egg shells, everyone was afraid to voice their suggestions because if he was not on-board you were at risk of losing your job. He obviously is a good business man however always need to hear that he was right and never was open to anyone's opinions.

Axos Bank Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We’re glad to hear both that you enjoyed working with your manager and your team, and that your friends who bank with us like our products and service. We also value continual improvement and constructive feedback in uncovering inefficiencies, but some of the impressions you shared don’t sound representative of our internal culture. The Axos culture is both meritocratic and one that values emotional involvement: by being genuinely and emotionally invested in our work, we create an uplifting environment for ourselves and others. Our culture also values rationality, or fact-based objectivity. At all levels of the Axos environment -- from senior executives to junior members of our team -- decisions are expected to be based not on what we hope is true but on an understanding of the actual facts. It sounds as though our culture may not have been the right fit for you, and we wish you success in the next stage of your career.

Pros

The company’s focus on AI and automation was genuinely valuable. It provided opportunities to learn new skills and stay current with emerging technologies.

Cons

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
