Supportive & inclusive company that wants to develop its people

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people help you learn quickly and want to help Incredibly inclusive & accepting culture Emphasis on volunteer efforts to help the local community Supportive managers allow employees to take on stretch projects as development opportunities Austin office has laid-back, almost startup feel and employees enjoy spending time together Increasing flexibility for remote/flexible working

Cons

Long-time PIMCO employees can slow down the culture change that's encouraged by newer management If you don't know how to create your own work/life balance this may not be the place for you, but it's there if you know how to take advantage of it

Archaic mentality & terrible company culture

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some really good talent here, established organization, some bright experts, access to all levels of employees in company, decent pay

Cons

Lack of creativity, no flexibility in the workplace - you feel like you are always being watched...essentially have to stay in your space or lane which feels toxic, limited resources - being lean can be great but it is very unnecessary at a firm of this size when there is constant demand to keep things moving. The mindset that everyone at Pimco is better than others when clearly if you go to work here you end up losing your skills because innovation and technology is clearly not a strength.

Pros

It's who you report to here that is key, not what you do.

Cons

If your direct supervisor leaves, you're left fending for yourself. Employees fall in and out of grace with the executives here.
