      Human Resources? No such thing.

      Pros

      Easy to advance if you try to make the right alliances. Beautiful building, close to downtown.

      Cons

      Human Resources the absolute worst. The management, if you can even call it that, care about putting more money in their already fat, wall street pockets. They will find any excuse to not give you full bonuses and are the most difficult to work with in almost all situations. They're reputations precede them as no one wants to work with them or for them (2 in particular).

      You won't find a more intelligent Investment Leadership team in the Industry!

      Pros

      Truly the best and brightest in the investment industry with countless MBAs from top tier schools, CFAs, PhDs and in addition, Nobel Prize winners on the Board. Not only are they brilliant but very down to earth and kind. David Booth was 1 of 2 founders and CEO of Dimensional. He grew the business while remaining humble and truly cared about the Employees. He has since retired but remained Chairman of the Board

      Cons

      Dimensional has grown significantly over the years and has made some extremely exceptional choices in leadership but have also made, possibly some of the very worst choices in Leadership you could imagine. So, be cautious while evaluating an opportunity at DFA and gather all your facts from peers and the community before you make the leap! Every department is very different.

      Pros

      Lots of qualified, friendly, intelligent people to work alongside. Competitive, good work-life balance

      Cons

      Promotion structure defies logic; Would rather hire over existing employees than promote within. Many will take the job due the great perks, beautiful office and great track record. But there is great turnover in all groups when you realize politics, not perfomance matters most.
