Pros

Some good people - who are all trying to leave for better opportunities with more flexible work arrangements, transparency, and fairness.

Cons

There is unfairness throughout the firm such as favoritism, lack of transparency, and a huge pay discrepancies without any rationale.

Stuck in the dark ages

Pros

kind people , great work life balance, nice facilities, food is good

Cons

If you want a job that's simply a job to you, where you won't have to work too hard, make a decent check, and live your life with relative stability and decent coworkers, this might be the place for you. If you have any career ambitions in high finance or otherwise, look elsewhere. The company itself is frustratingly archaic, stuck in the dark ages of finance in the 1980s, lacking in any technological, financial, or cultural innovation despite what they might tell you. There is fundamentally nothing that differentiates Dimensional from the competition. You'll never learn transferable skills that can elevate your career outside Dimensional; you'll work for a company that is extremely resistant to change; if you're in a diversity group, they'll parade you out once a year for optics; you'll report to management that won't invest in your goals or enable creative thinking; you'll find that your paycheck is far lower than the industry, bonuses are pennies compared to peer firms; and more than anything else, you'll be bored. and read your contract, because if you leave too soon (and you'll want to), you'll pay up for that too.
