Pros

You get to work with people that are super smart.

Cons

This company is shady, dishonest, plays favorites, all they care is the SVP and above bonuses, they steal ideas, they literally present staff home grown ideas to the CEO when it was the staff and they make it their own. The CEO doesn’t realize what is underneath this mess because things are masked in a way to make him feel better than things are really going. I genuinely feel like we are in a place that is built on cards and one day they will all collapse.

Axos Bank Response
2mo
Axos takes integrity and accountability seriously, and we do not agree with the characterization presented here. Our governance and decision‑making processes are structured, documented, and subject to oversight, with clear expectations around collaboration and ownership. Employees are encouraged to raise concerns through established internal channels, including their HR Business Partner, to ensure they are addressed appropriately.

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
