Pros

You gain familiarity with financial systems and reporting.

Cons

Everything revolved around numbers and performance tracking, but it wasn’t always clear how those metrics connected to actual outcomes, so you’re working toward targets without fully understanding the bigger picture… which gets frustrating after a while. It feels like you’re being measured constantly, but not always guided in a meaningful way.

Axos Bank Response

Operating in a metrics‑driven environment means that performance tracking is an important part of how outcomes are evaluated. Employees are encouraged to engage with their managers, ask questions, and seek clarity when expectations or metrics are unclear. Broader business understanding comes through ongoing dialogue, curiosity, and collaboration.

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
