Pros

Respected brand, generally nice people, can work from other offices.

Cons

Culture clashes are frequent between old guard and new staff as organization tries to change. Opaque management style and trying to be "nice" leads to more gamesmanship between departments.

Oaktree is a friendly environment. People are willing to offer assistance when necessary. There are perks such as Monday breakfast and Friday lunch.

The hours are long. Little consideration is given for exempt employees. Promotions and compensation are unstructured and don't appear to be applied fairly across the board.
