Pros

- The bank is situated in one of the best locations in San Diego, so commuting won't be a problem as there is a metro station just outside the building complex. - I see potential for growth as they are opening new offices all over California, which results in a lot of overhead for the IT department.

Cons

- Micromanagement: You are required to work from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, 9 hours every day, regardless of any changes scheduled at night. You must also complete those tasks and be available the next day at 8:30 AM to provide updates daily. You will be randomly added to meetings, and if you're unavailable, you’ll be questioned about why you didn’t join the call. - Lack of personal growth: There is no opportunity for personal growth here because upper management engages in favoritism. They openly identify their "left and right hand" employees, so no matter what you do, the credit goes to their favorite employee. - Outdated office space: The office space and desks are very old, with a vibe reminiscent of the 1980s. On my first day, I was given used accessories, and I later found hair remnants on the used headphones. While the building complex is well-maintained by the Irvine Company, the individual office space is rusty, outdated, and has a strange smell. - Lack of office perks: If you're looking for a well-managed kitchen with free food or a few perks, this is not the place. The only amenities available are a coffee machine and a vending machine where you have to pay for snacks. I stayed here for over a month but decided to leave because I couldn't see myself staying longer. The average employee stays less than a year before leaving for all the reasons mentioned above. All current employees, except for higher management, are new, so they will likely leave eventually as well.

Axos supports career growth and advancement opportunities from within. We implemented an extensive learning and development platform to help expand your knowledge base. It would be difficult to take advantage of our professional development opportunities with only one month of employment. While remote work offers convenience and flexibility for some, our organization strongly believes that working in-office fosters collaboration, innovation, and a sense of community that is difficult to replicate in a virtual environment.

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

Axos operates in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and expectations are intentionally aligned with the level of impact our teams are driving. At the same time, sustainable performance matters. Teams are structured with defined priorities, and leaders are expected to actively manage capacity, set clear goals, and maintain regular check ins, especially during periods of increased demand. Experiences can vary across teams, and feedback like this helps highlight where execution may not always meet expectations. Maintaining a productive, engaged workforce requires ongoing attention, and leadership remains focused on balancing performance with a sustainable work environment.
