Pros

I really wish I had something good to say. I started here optimistic but unfortunately I can’t really recommend this place.

Cons

This place prides themselves on being innovative and collaborative, yet nothing about this organization is. The leadership is non-existent, on every level. If you have a question, be prepared to have your hand slapped down. From the moment you walk into the office, you can immediately feel the lack of life, enthusiasm, culture, and collaborative spirit. No one at all is excited to work - not even the people who get paid appropriately. They’ve already sold their soul and whatever bit of life they had. They demand 5 days in office yet engaging with any colleagues whom aren’t on your team or of similar status is frowned up and discouraged. The company is bogged down with middle managers who micro-manage every aspect of your day to day responsibilities. You’ll be taught one thing and then expected to do something completely different. Everyday. Half of the company is some level of VP - yet barely are. Everything is incredibly vague and undefined. For this to be a bank, is incredibly mind blowing. Goals? Never talked about, Mission statement? Just as vague. Direction? Who knows. The least you can do if these are things you’re willing to put up with, is go to an institution that’ll pay appropriate for the level of work/experience they ask for. Benefits are less than decent. “Bonuses” end up really being about $400-600. If you want a true soul-less 9-5, with absolutely everything you do under a microscope and under the eyes of Big Brother, while being paid drastically less than market rate for your experience, while getting absolutely no guidance, support, or mentorship - then this is the place for you.

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.
