Where to even begin? Axos gets ahead as a company by doing more with less. As a prospective employee this means:
-Expecting individual employees to perform the work of two or even three, the work/life separation is non-existent. Many roles can expect after-hours and/or weekend work. I had months with only a single free weekend.
-They pay bottom market and your bonuses are only half paid out with the other half provided in stock, fully vested over multiple years. Axos is a "meritocracy", meaning bluntly that raises and perks are handed out to long term employees that are deemed not to be a flight risk and who are willing to suffer for the business.
-There is very little cross-unit communication or collaboration, nor is there any real drive to retain flighty employees in critical roles. This means that people get fed up, quit, and rather than Axos putting out a top level directive on hiring replacements, the work trickles down to other teams who more often than not do not have the knowledge or the bandwidth to perform the extra work, those employees then become disgruntled and the cycle repeats.
-A product of the above revolving door policy is that the technology does not function properly. Physically provisioned hardware is very often shoddy and second-hand and occasionally even not available when needed. Software is woefully inconsistent, the IT staff for the company do not have the manpower or support system in place to proactively provision software and account access before your start date, your first several weeks will be making ticket requests for things you need to do your job. Applications will break and there will be nobody on staff who can fix it because it's creator or lone supporter has been gone for years which impacts productivity.
-Axos is vehemently against remote work, and as if to double down on this archaic policy, your computer activity is constantly tracked using ActivTrak.
