Struggling but good

Pros

Oaktree is struggling and grappling to figure out where to get new business, but the company is still solid in terms of the numbers.

Cons

The changing culture after going public. Didn't feel like a small company feel even though the headcount hasn't increased. Change in culture is eminent.

Pros

Wicked smart co-workers, truly amazing work that's intellectually stimulating, good culture, most people are nice

Cons

Signs of "corporatization" and as the original founders pass the reign to the next set of leaders, its concerning they might slowly make OT lose its magic. Specifically, additional processes, red tapes, etc. At the same time, processes that need to work faster doesnt - e.g. expense. Lots of "non-producers" adding to dead weight and bureaucracies and not to mention adding to overweight cost. Not to sound brutal but I see lots of folks during Monday breakfast whom I'm not sure what they do - perhaps need some internal process/cost efficiency experts to review.
