Great company, hyper-competitive culture

Pros

At the firm, you have access to some of the best minds in the investing world, and PIMCO is one of the strongest brands in the asset management space.

Cons

The company, though it claims otherwise, is incredibly political, and you need to be ok with that or willing to play the game. It is also hyper-competitive; there is an emphasis on being a great team member, however, this is not really the case.

Pros

Among the smartest people I have ever met. Clients are indeed the focus of the firm. Newport Beach and SoCal are great.

Cons

Poor work life balance. In product management you get blamed for anything that goes wrong regardless of whether you were involved in the issue or not. Too much effort is expended on face time.

Exposure to solid fixed income management.

Cons

Associates are treated as an afterthought.
