Pros

Free drinks at vending machine Gym

Cons

Lack of diversity. No career progression Gentlemens club (a lot of befriending senior management to get by) Backbiting culture Sabotaging culture you go through rounds and rounds of interviews (maybe 10) only to get into the role and absolutely hate the culture No work life balance (no wfh) If you are applying for a role at PIMCO. Please seriously consider it, the salary is not worth your mental health evaporating before your very eyes. You feel anxious everyday you come into work HR is not for the employee, HR is to protect the company

Pros

Picked up a few good skills and some product knowledge. Made a few good friends. The salaries are quite good, but they take your pound of flesh in return for it.

Cons

No culture. You are expected to work all hours under the Sun and the Moon. PIMCO's brand is nowhere near as strong as it was. They invest heavily in sales, account management, and product development, but not in support functions, such as marketing.

Pros

- You'll have the chance to work with very intelligent and driven co-workers - Great resume-builder (expect recruiters flooding your voicemail & inbox)

Cons

-This will presumably vary from office to office and team to team, but I've personally never seen such levels of behind-your-back manoeuvring and unwillingness to listen; the environment isn't conducive to shared decision-making and consensus-building -Employees don't talk to each other much, which creates an 'every man for himself' environment. Mistakes are called out and frowned upon, with little training in place to get you up to speed. I found it to be a bad place for juniors, especially the more social/friendly types who see the bigger picture and want to collaborate -People are treated as disposable and kicked to the curb unless they uphold rigid, hierarchical business practices (i.e. sticking to 'this is how it's done here, no questions allowed' mentality) - There isn't much internal mobility, i.e. ability to gain exposure to tasks and processes in adjacent teams through cross-training. Silos persist.
