Pros

Working in the PMO at Axos as a Program Manager has been a great experience. The PMO is respected and plays a key role in driving important, high‑visibility initiatives. Leadership is supportive and trusts Program Managers to own their programs and collaborate closely with stakeholders. The culture is collaborative, transparent, and focused on continuous improvement. The work is challenging and rewarding, with good exposure to strategic initiatives in a growing organization. Work‑life balance is generally respected, and contributions are recognized. The PMO has strong support for AI initiatives focused on improving operational efficiency by leveraging data‑driven insights to enhance decision‑making and program delivery.

Cons

As with any fast‑growing organization, priorities can shift quickly, requiring adaptability.

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
