Pros

PIMCO focuses a lot on improving their employees by encouraging them to continue their education. They do a great job with training employees.

Cons

The company keeps it lean and for younger employees they tend to be VERY stingy when it comes to salary + bonus, which is definitely why they can’t maintain top talent. They also won’t spend money for you to gain access to things that could tremendously improve your output.

Pros

Very competitive environment, good learning experience. It is an amazing platform to start your career and build a network.

Cons

It is nearly impossible to promote from associate to manager. They prefer to hire MBA students and force you to leave the company at some point.

Business Outlook

Pros

They keep everyone, no matter what mistakes you make on the job. Temp to perm; you will become full-time 80% of the time. They can't hire and keep talent.

Cons

Management is always busy, hard to discuss anything. The play the favoritism game. If they like you, they will go around rules/policies to make things happen. If they don't favor you then you are just out of luck, promotions after 5 years - 1 promotion. Not very open about anything. Admins are always kept in the dark unless you are well liked
