Pros

Opportunity to gain broad experience, work in a fast paced environment.

Cons

Management is disorganized, lacks transparency, and demonstrates little common courtesy in how they treat each other and their employees. They “lead” by instilling fear and distrust in their teams, resulting in low morale, deficient communications, and a complete lack of teamwork within the bank. Unless you are an SVP or above, base compensation is sorely below market.

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. At Axos, our core competitive advantage is our meritocratic culture, which is marked by independence and self-governance. This enables us to operate with efficiency and agility, turning rational ideas into actions through our collective passion and dedication. This same culture also creates unparalleled opportunities for team members to grow and develop by taking on responsibilities that go well beyond what people with similar experience levels would find in other organizations. Our competitive compensation structure – base pay plus merit-based bonus – rewards staff who thrive within our culture, and who meet or exceed their objectives. We’re sorry to hear that this wasn’t 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
