Challenging, smart co-worker, under valued PA team.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot to learn in bond investment and portfolio management in early years of career. Very deep bench on the trading floor.

Cons

Management decides to make it very difficult for Portfolio Associates to promote into trader/junior PMs. Most of recruits come from MBA target schools.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work environment is well structured and therefore predictable. Colleagues are amicable. Workload is reasonable. Work-life balance is reasonable.

Cons

Though management presents itself initially as transparent, this is not always actually the case. Some promises are made that are then ignored.

I did not enjoy my time there.

Business Outlook

Pros

Picked up a few good skills and some product knowledge. Made a few good friends. The salaries are quite good, but they take your pound of flesh in return for it.

Cons

No culture. You are expected to work all hours under the Sun and the Moon. PIMCO's brand is nowhere near as strong as it was. They invest heavily in sales, account management, and product development, but not in support functions, such as marketing.
