Dimensional Fund Advisors reviews

-Poor personal growth ops...in reality as a junior you are going nowhere slowly -Without an MBA (pref Chicago), you have very little/no chance of ever making it to the top, or anywhere even close -Pay progression is not good (and frankly nor should it be - job is really easy/simple in reality if you are good) -Basically they hire academically smart, hardworking people who can output what is quite easy, boring work without errors, glorified secretaries in essence. So little development/personal satisfaction it’s incredible.

Poor compensation, poor work/life balance, most aspects of work dictated from Austin HQ, micromanagement rife within all departments of the company, jobs becoming more specialised, few opportunities for progression as more senior hires made compared to internal progression, overbearing management requires all employees to learn history of the company for little commercial merit - treated like being back at school, few resources for professional development (e.g. qualifications). Expect to have an MBA to progress in any department in the company,
