Vantaggi

Not much, they have a nice coffee machine I guess.

Svantaggi

The job description is a straight up lie. It said I would need C# experience and work with the .NET Framework and maybe a little bit of JavaScript. That sounds great right? It's all a lie. I never even get to touch any code while working here. The work was extremely mundane and repetitive. You really don't need a CS degree to do it, you actually don't need any college degree really. They use "Citizen Developer" tools to create bots, basically you'll be clicking and dragging circles and lines around to "make" a bot. I even asked, multiple times during the interview process, about how much coding and programming I would do here and the interviewer said "about 50% of your time will be spent developing". Again, that was a lie. I was very explicit about what I wanted and he misled me into thinking I could get that here. Also, it's not remote and I really don't understand why. All of the work I did could have been done from home. I go to the office just to talk to all my coworkers online anyways. All we did was have meetings over Teams. Why can't that be done from home? It would've made the work more barrable if I could've stayed home to do it rather than drive 30 mins every day to UTC. No one cared about wearing masks either. The company put the least amount of effort possible in order to "comply" with safety measures. They put thermometers by the doors for employees who don't want to wear a mask so they can check their temperature before going in. No one ever used them. They are also very picky about your work time if you are not salaried. If you clock out at 4:58, they wont count it as the full work day. The pay is poor too. Point is, if you're looking for a good CS job, don't come here. It will waste your time and lock you down a certain career path you probably don't want.

We’re sorry to hear the role didn’t meet your expectations. It is important to us to clarify the responsibilities within the Junior Automation Developer job description. As a Junior Automation Developer, there is a ramp up to getting an understanding of the platform and creating solutions within it. We work to get individuals experience and practice to demonstrate within the fundamentals of the application before getting into the complexities of various solutions. Within the various complexities lies the computer programming referenced. The balance of tasks within the role varies from week to week. Some weeks individuals are spending more than 50% on a development type task, other weeks it is less than 50%. This is especially true early on, as there is training to be reviewed first. We have individuals demonstrate comprehension and execution in the application and our Software Delivery Life Cycle practices before we can move to the more complex items. As to the work environment of the position, we have provided your feedback to management. We highly encourage collaboration in all forms. Management has recognized that some of the best learning methods and communication strategies are accomplished working onsite. We take pride in investing in our employees’ training and career development. We follow CDC and state/county guidelines and comply with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure that in-office work happens safely.

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.
