Business Outlook

Pros

Overall congenial culture, seeks to have A players in every role, strives hard not to hire jerks (although there are always a few bad apples), smart colleagues, lots of perks that most companies do not offer in this era. Most employees have very strong work ethics and a lot of loyalty to Oaktree. The 'changing culture' that some individuals report here is, IMHO, mostly common-sense practices that most companies of this caliber already subscribe to (e.g., prioritizing how we spend money and trying to reduce costs and streamline operations; what sound company doesn't need to always be mindful of that?)

Cons

Can be demanding and stressful, but it's mostly normal, acceptable demands (not abusive). That said, the demands are high and it can be exhausting. I am still struggling with work/life balance, but that is my accountability to figure out.
