Pros

Axos Bank is not shy about it's culture and the fact we are a meritocracy. Meaning, if you perform well and give great end result, you will be rewarded for your exceptional hard work with $$$. Last year when I was looking for a career change, I had a multitude of SaaS sales experience, but very little banking experience. I was extremely happy they considered me for business development / sales at the bank and focused on my strengths and relationships rather than my banking experience. This allowed me to learn and grow into the position and use my skillset of Salesforce management, business development, expo/conference expertise, etc. Even though there was a leadership change within our vertical, we were able to bounce back quickly and become even stronger than before. This is a big deal when adversity strikes an organization...and to see it go well is a stress relief. The biggest thing, and I hope they will expand this as the years continue, but I am able to work completely remotely from where ever I want. My role is based on consistent KPI's daily and new relationships being brought into the fold of conversation through meetings. I've noticed there aren't too many other BDO's who are remote which is a shame, because if you are disciplined, experienced, and a self-starter, you can do this role from anywhere.

Cons

-I'm hopeful they will add more BDO roles as full remote

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.
