Pros

Bonuses were based on performance and generous to generally match actual performance so that was nice but half is stock that is 3 year vesting and most people don't stay longer than a year.

Cons

Pay is what it is but to be told there's no range but then find out there is one later just leaves a bad taste in your mouth

Axos Bank Response
2mo
Compensation is guided by a merit based philosophy that rewards individual performance. Pay decisions reflect a combination of factors, including role scope, experience, market considerations, and demonstrated impact. While base pay may not always be negotiable, performance based incentives and bonuses are a key component of our overall rewards structure and are designed to recognize contributions over time.

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
