      Great resume builder and that's about it.

      Pros

      You will have the opportunity to rub elbows with some of the smartest people in the industry. Definitely a place that is challenging and one where you will learn an enormous amount.

      Cons

      Horrible/incompetent management and zero visibility in terms of growth prospects. It is extremely difficult to move within the firm and roles have become extremely specialized and focused on specific tasks. Very fast paced with long hours and very little work/life balance and not so great compensation. Politics will take you places while playing a team sport will only work against you. A very high stress environment leading to constant nightmares. EVERYONE is replaceable. Management will over promise and rarely deliver.

      Poor management leads to loss of morale

      Pros

      PIMCO has big reputation in the Finance Industry (asset management) and the name looks good on a resume. You're mostly surrounded by very intelligent people and know what they're doing.

      Cons

      Poor management often led to loss of morale on teams. Pay is also low compared with market and other asset management firms. Lot's a red tape to get things done often slowed projects down to the point of stagnation.

      Great place but lacks life/work balance

      Pros

      Among the smartest people I have ever met. Clients are indeed the focus of the firm. Newport Beach and SoCal are great.

      Cons

      Poor work life balance. In product management you get blamed for anything that goes wrong regardless of whether you were involved in the issue or not. Too much effort is expended on face time.
