Pros

I worked at Oaktree for 2 years and it was a wonderful experience. It’s a great company and I enjoyed the people there. I loved the focus on philanthropy and all of the events. Oaktree takes great care of their employees and have worked to build a really strong culture that is rare in organizations today. I also liked the work they were doing to increase diversity and inclusion!

Cons

I found that there were few growth opportunities for administrative assistants. If you aren’t a career assistant then you may feel limited in opportunities over time. Other than that, I have no complaints and only good things to say. I would have stayed if there were clearer steps for growth with more entry level administrative roles.

Pros

Benefits, work relationships, a stable environment to work in

Cons

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.
