No leadership, no structure

Pros

The marketing team is the most intelligent and interesting team (professionally and personally) I have ever worked with.

Cons

Organisational structure of the team is of none existence. The turnover of employees is ridiculously high, since everyone who can leaves. As a result if you ar e good, you are being given so much responsibility, that your reputation is at stake - due to workload. And ....if one of the senior managers does not like you - simply - you can be made redundant from one day to another, which puts pressure on the rest of the team. Plus you do not work directly for PIMCO (agency).

Pros

excellent learning curve in the first year, they pay for CFA, if you love coffees and meaningless catch ups this could be a good fit for you

Cons

Politics, US centric company, lack of career progression, lack of energy, incapable managers, the concept of perceived value is valued higher than the actual contributions of employees, if you are an associate you have zero career progression as the company has a clear preference for hiring new MBAs with zero knowledge- tragically the associates are better trained, more knowledgable than new hires and are required to train their managers

Pros

If you are liked by the right people then you will do well and if you are in certain departments or reach a certain level you will be well compensated. There are some extremely bright, hard-working people at Pimco.

Cons

The expectations that pimco has towards its employees are unrealistic and just bad business. Competition is taken to a new level of cut throat and sabotage.
