Pros

-Newport Beach -Great new building -Name looks good on a resume -Some of the people are great

Cons

-Horrendous work/life balance -A larger proportion of jerks relative to regular folks than any place I know -Third-world level of income disparity between the MD's and everyone else, even EVP's, SVPs -A completely unsustainable culture as evidenced by the fact that neither Gross or El-Erian could take it. -Areas like product management are hugely overstaffed

Great learning environment.

Pros

Great name on your resume. Don't expect though that when you move to a different company you will be able to normally communicate with your "best" buddies from PIMCO

Cons

Competitive environment. If you are not a manager's protege it is not always clear what direction to follow and what are your expected daily duties. Be careful and document every step. Sometimes just doing it takes more time than to actually do work.
