Oaktree Capital Management reviews

Few opportunities for internal movement, if you're stuck with a bad manager, move on quickly. There are a lot of "managers" who serves no real purpose at the firm, and most of these managers do a poor job managing their team. Be careful about what you are promised, words mean very little to this firm. Get everything in writing. Don't expect years of good work to count for anything. The company's goals are aligned with clients and employees are seldom rewarded for good work. If you just want a job and don't mind being in a stagnant career for the rest of your career, Oaktree is a good place to land yourself. Office politics sucks and 100% influences your movement within the firm. So start sucking up early, because it will likely be the reason why you get promoted or are denied a promotion down the road. The good people tend to leave quickly, at least that's what I noticed there. Extremely high turnover in certain groups, our team faced nearly turned over in its entirety during my time there.

Very low morale amongst various departments. A lot of new senior management are directionless, a lot of politics games. Many knowledgeable officers level left the firm, and new officers only care to cover up their own lack of knowledge.
