Pros

I work at Oaktree for more than 10 years and always loved its culture and people. Traditionally it always values its employees, promotes work life balance, and provides a very collegial team environment.

Cons

In recent years, senior management in the finance department are losing touch with the workforce. They lack the basic understand of existing infrastructure and appreciation of human capital and actual work efforts which contribute to the success of Oaktree. Promotion are given without merit behind close door. Actual contribution and ability are ignored for the sack of providing mobility and appearance of diversity. There are too much politics at the senior management level to focus on the actual impact of the projects.

Extremely intelligent talent and team oriented culture spanning all departments.

Transition to new technology such as Workday can be frustrating at times but in the long term, we know such changes are for the longevity and benefit of the entire enterprise.
