Pros

Pay is negotiable and they have the ability to pay a lot.

Cons

Poor management/leadership. Very poor HR. Majority of staff are fake. When a coworker asks you, "How are you... how was your weekend?" Reply, "Good" and then keep it moving. They don't actually care or want an honest answer. If you actually share a thoughtful answer that is honest, people look at you weird. When I tried to stand up for a coworker by asking to be delegated some of their work so that they aren't spread so thin, my manager told me, "Let's not speak for others and give them an opportunity to come to their manager on their own." Then I was shortly let go... The work culture at Pzena isn't what it is presented to be. Stay a few months and you'll see. HR is very quick and comfortable with letting people go for stepping out of their bound.

At Pzena, we pride ourselves on our culture of excellence and collaboration and that every position in our firm is eligible to become a partner. As a result, one-third of our employees have been with us for over 10 years, and on our Research team, that increases to close to 50%. We also believe this is a testament to our commitment to continually improve and support our employees.

Horrible Bosses

Pros

I got paid money. That’s pretty much the only pro.

Cons

Culture is awful. Management seems to put people against each other. Managers do not advocate for their employees. It actually seems like employee to manager relationship is adversarial across the board.
