Dimensional Fund Advisors reviews

The best people in this company are either sidelined or pushed out by a nasty little bunch of long time employees. The CEO stands charged of either being unaware of this or else condoning this, either way guilty as charged. If this was a publicly traded company the shareholders would have forced out the current management (globally) a long time ago. Getting rid of the London CEO was a good idea at the time but nothing has changed unfortunately. ps: some of the reviews here are positive PR from HR, such as "nice place to work", "great company to work for" etc. I know that for a fact. When a HR department of a company has to revert to writing their own reviews on Glassdoor it's a shocking indictment of the company.

Academic is putting it lightly. Unless you had an MBA from that school without a football team, your only other way in was through fall-back choices like Harvard, Yale, etc. Many undergrads I worked with acted as if getting hired meant their work in life was over and they were semi-retired. And management let them get away with it. Not wearing a necktie was looked upon as if I'd joined ISIS, even though I never, ever met a client. Some PMs were patient and helped me learn, others were NASA-types and acted like I was scum. Be prepared for endless gym talk and frat boy mentality.
