Sculptor Capital Management Reviews

1) Google “Och Ziff” & “Africa” to understand the SEC investigation against the company that is still not resolved 2) Stock has dropped over 70% since Jan 2014 since investigation has started to gain momentum (obviously not a good sign) 3) Elitist management 4) Cult –like atmosphere -- they expect you to give up your personal life & worship senior management -- very cliquey in certain departments 5) There is a real division between Front Office & Back office roles – the people on the upper floors “look down” at anyone that’s not in a role that makes them $$ (accounting, operations, compliance, etc.) 6) No room for advancement 7) There is NO DIVERSITY (company is driven by an all-white male jewish faction) 8) No corporate philanthropy (it's only for show - they do not legitimately care or promote any of the causes they claim to support). 9) NO Corporate Culture - no sense of congeniality among co-workers (most people are out for themselves and there is no sense of "teamwork") ** NOTE - all of the "good" reviews were written internally - as you'll notice they sound like they're all written by the same person - use similar language and comment on the same things.**

1. New senior managements with fresh look at the situation. What they preach sounds good, but what they are truly focusing on is cost cuts, and not on how to make the firm better place for the employees. 2. LOTS OF people leaving. The headcount of the company decreased by more than 20% from its peak about 2 years ago. People who are leaving and have left are employees that were loyal, knowledgeable, skillful, and smart (and personable!). Almost everyone I talk to that are still at Oz expresses an interest in leaving the firm. Less people = more work, but not necessarily get paid more. The worst part is that the management is doing absolutely nothing to prevent more people from quitting. Maybe that's what they want. 3. "Promote within" is a false statement. The only promotions I've seen involves their bosses leaving. Even then, in many cases, instead of promoting a capable employee, the management likes to find talents externally. 4. Very little bonding and interactions between the employees in different teams. People only come to you when they need something. Personally, I like to have more personal interaction with people I work with, since I spend more time with them than with my family. 5. Overly complicated process and institutional nuances causes steep learning curve. This also takes away employees from fully understanding what they are doing and focus more on learning about the process. Most people resist changes, so there are no efforts being made to reduce unnecessary complexity. 6. Even during vacations, you are expected to check your e-mails. Also, taking a vacation is such a big deal. Why can't I take the vacations I earned without being complained about when to take them? 7. Look at the asset under management and the stock price of the Company in the past few years. That will tell you everything you need to know about the firm.
