Builds valuable experience in financial analysis and reporting - Banking Analyst Axos Bank Employee Review

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.

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

Some of the people were actually helpful and the location wasn't terrible.

The biggest problem was that nobody seemed to have the slightest clue what anyone else was doing. It felt like working inside isolated groups that barely functioned as part of the same organization. You would spend weeks working on a project only to discover another team had already been doing the exact same thing the entire time, which became infuriating almost immediately. Information never moved between teams because everything was either hidden away, poorly documented, or ignored completely, and hours disappeared trying to figure out what actually existed or what had already been created. Meetings turned into groups of people blindly guessing at everyone else's priorities because nobody had visibility into anything beyond their own corner. The entire place felt disconnected and directionless, with teams stumbling around in the dark and absolutely no reliable system for getting critical information to the people who actually needed it.
