Pros
The people, co-workers and colleagues in the firm, are generally fantastic people.
Cons
Nine out of the last ten years were great, but Oaktree has changed a lot since going public, getting a CEO, etc. Some of the top Managing Directors are people that you don't want to work for, that don't value the work you do and/or your contributions. The firm has begun eliminating positions (i.e., laying people off) for reasons that seem to discriminate against older workers and others who are at the top ends of the salary scale, and this is really bad for morale.
