PIMCO reviews

Management structure forces senior team members to be focused only on themselves and not the greater good of the firm. All salaries are tiered by title and this incentives senior team members to take credit for the work of junior team members and not spend time developing a strong team.

The list would be too long to put here. I worked in the administrative area for 3+ years and can honestly say I've never felt more demeaned, condescended to, torn down intellectually, and just plain disgusted by the degree of entitlement and pomp that embodies the typical PIMCO brat. They are all hungry, and kept that way, see, because it makes for a much leaner, meaner animal. At every level, they are sure to overburden the employee, and at no other level is the employee more burdened than at the administrative level. I did the work of assistants, coordinators, associates, and sometimes account managers, and was never paid a fraction what I was worth by the time I finally had the brains to quit. Even my mentor, an SVP, said it was a wise move to leave.
