Pros

Medical benefits and vacation hours

Cons

Very political and senior management play favorism when it comes to promotion and workload distribution. You are not valued at how much you contribute to the team but how much you suck up to your managers. Low morale due to high turn over rate.

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.
