Pros

+ Work with some of the smartest people on the planet + Clients are incredibly intelligent, too, and will challenge you + Compensation is rewarding

Cons

- Work/life balance can be tough at times as clients, internal and external, can be demanding - Senior-level is a bit thick and thus can be tough to have your voice heard or feel like you're making headway promotion-wise

Business Outlook

Pros

It is still one of the top investment management firms in the industry and still have some great people working there (for how much longer, who knows?!). They will maintain a presence in the industry, but will be hard to get back to the peak that Bill Gross attained.

Cons

It was a great company when Bill Gross and Bill Thompson ran it, but now it has fallen into some younger, greedy money hungry partners running it. The CEO is not fit to run a top company like PIMCO! On the investment side there are still some great investors, but too many at the top are more about money than what is best for the clients. Sad to see what happened to a once great company!
