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

Smart people, high intensity, good compensation (for some)

Cons

YOu are only as good as your last [whatever]. Consistent stellar performance doesn't matter if at the end of the year there is a mistake or error.
