      Culture is getting worse

      Pros

      You can get an good understanding of the financial market, but not much upside potential

      Cons

      The culture is obviously no good - that's also explained by Gross's leave. Long hours of work and not appreciated unless you get the results your boss want - usually the department head will think of a conclusion and you find evidence to prove it, even it is not right.

      Consider only if you are ready to sell your soul

      Pros

      Salary Annual Bonuses Annual Raises Beautiful Building and Amenities With these items they tempt you in and make you think no other company will provide you with the same.

      Cons

      Elitist work environment. You are only as good as your title and get reminded of it every day. Client only comes first if they have the most invested with the company. There is no hope for any form of advancement unless you leave the company first to show your worth elsewhere. Management has ZERO backbone so there is no real structure I can go on for days, but why waste your time?

      Working at PIMCO were the darkest years of my long career. Like working in a Peruvian salt mine but with more sunshine.

      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
