none - this place is awful

Svantaggi

Working at Axos has been one of the worst employment experiences I have ever had. Managers are unapproachable and not trained in dealing with people and the technology is far behind what you would expect form an online bank. Almost every employee I talk to is either actively looking for a new job or unhappy but unable to find something better. There is a depressed/unhappy feeling throughout the building. I am an exemplary employee and the raise at my first annual review was almost laughable. During the interview process they talk about the bonus structure but half of your bonus has to go into company stock, you have no option to invest it elsewhere and it takes years to vest. So basically you are "awarded" money but Axos holds onto it and won't give it to you when you quit unless you stay for years, because most employees last less than 2 years they never see that money. It's almost a scam.

We appreciate your feedback and are disappointed to hear about your experience. Many of your comments are at odds with the findings of our annual, independently conducted employee survey. In the most recent survey from earlier this year, an overwhelming majority of Axos team members gave high marks when asked about the working relationship with their managers and their satisfaction at work. We offer a competitive compensation package that consists of a base salary and discretionary, performance-based bonuses paid out twice a year. You’re correct that our bonuses are typically given in the form of cash and stock grants, usually a 50-50 split. The stock grant is on a 3-year vesting schedule where 1/3 is earned each year. Rewarding employee performance with shares in a company and requiring a vesting period for those shares are fairly common practices in the business world. At Axos, these stock grants reinforce the idea that we all are owners of the company and have a vested interest in its success. We want you to succeed and grow at Axos, so please consider having a discussion directly with your manager about the issues that are on your mind.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
