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

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
