Pros

If you are in a good group/department, there are a lot of things to learn, grow, and take part of. Take those skills you learn and move on!

Cons

Management. There are a lot of red tape in trying to get approvals either through enterprise or just within a department. There is also a lack of transparency among upper and middle levels of management and the workers. This is also reflected in the silo work between groups. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Right hand kills or implements programs/systems/etc without understanding what it will do to the left hand or knows about it and moves forward anyway. Performance Reviews. If you have a good and fair boss and you do a good job and handle your responsibilities, you will get a good review. However, if you have a bad boss who has an axe to grind with you or anyone, you can expect a bad review even though you did duties. Furthermore, since your bonus is based on a your performance review, you either can make up the rest of your average comparative salary through your bonus or get a paltry sum all on the whims of your boss. Company culture. In light of what happened at the end of last year and beginning of this year, I think the reasons behind those decisions made run counter to what Axos Bank’s culture and values are about. I hope that managers can take a look at their own actions and how that reflects on their team and Axos’s culture.

Axos Bank Response

Thank you for the taking the time to share your opinion, and sorry to hear your experience did not match your expectations. We’re making improvements in the way we communicate internally in an effort to facilitate greater transparency. Our culture is a meritocracy and is marked by self-governance, which relies on the internal resources of the individual. We emphasize personal enfranchisement and individual accountability. At the same time, our culture also promotes trustworthiness, respect, fairness and caring. Finally, our culture 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. We hope you find a better fit.

• 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
