Pros

PIMCO will take care of you if you can put in the hard work and long hours. They are the best of the best and this is reflected in their expectations.

Cons

Inter-team dependencies and inefficient means of communication can cause projects to have insufficient time and resources. Long hours and lots of stress, not sure if Newport Beach is worth it.

Pros

Some of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Employees really do go out of their way to teach and help you with problems you encounter while on the job.

Cons

Lean organization leads to an additional workload. If you're not looking for a fast-paced environment, PIMCO is not the place for you. I think a lot of employees tried to put on their "work face" and look like they loved working at PIMCO when the opposite may very well have been true if you talked candidly with anyone.

Pros

Best bond house in the world in terms of 1st year learning process (especially on the macro front) and brand recognition. Very flat hierarchy structure with some entrepreneurial possibilities. Very slim structure (similar to Morgan Stanley) which allows for significant exposure to investors/consultants

Cons

Geographical mobility is near-absent, internal politics and nationality seems to matter a lot more than skills, HR is very disorganized. Too much US-focused
