Pros

- work is challenging - there are kind people working there

Cons

- the company uses Activtrak which takes a screenshot of and logs everything that you do in your laptop. - the company tracks employees' productivity and unproductivity. - a lot of their systems are redundant and a time waster. They have multiple "productivity" systems that basically do the same thing (e.g., Work Planner) - bosses are micromanagers. They watch if you are away in Teams and will call you out if your productive hours are low - the office does not smell nice. It smells musty and unpleasant. - they hold these townhalls to "listen" and "address" employee feedback but they will just defend the management's decisions even though most employees are unhappy with the policies - it's evident that the company doesn't trust its employees given the heavy usage of invasive time trackers - the company hates WFH and they urge their employees to always go to the office. However, they do not make an effort to ease the burden of working on site (no free lunch, no pantry snacks) - no work-life balance, you have to attend meetings after office hours and even at night - they are now obsessed with AI which might mean that they'll be laying off employees soon once they have developed their AI agents to automate tasks and workflows

As a financial institution, Axos operates within a highly regulated environment that requires strong controls around data security, productivity, and compliance. The tools referenced in your review are implemented to support these obligations and to ensure consistency, transparency, and protection of both employees and the organization. They are not intended to signal a lack of trust, but rather to meet regulatory and operational requirements common within the industry. We regularly assess our systems and workflows to reduce redundancy and improve efficiency, and we continue to invest in technology, including responsible use of AI to support employees, not replace them. Any changes to tools or processes are evaluated carefully with business continuity and long‑term workforce needs in mind.

Pros

Managers are highly competent – they really make it easier for people to stay organized and work efficiently. A big part of my job is managing escalations and making sure daily operations run smoothly, so there’s never a boring day. The environment is friendly and supportive; it’s obvious that people care about their work and one another.

Cons

The workload can get heavy, so strong time management skills are essential.
