Pros

Competitive pay with a strong organizational culture. Favorable hours compared to most other alternative asset managers. Very friendly and supportive organization while still achievement oriented.

Cons

Internal opportunities to advance as an investment associate are limited in some groups. The culture is changing now that Oaktree is public. It is unclear if the culture will change for the worse.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Oaktree is a place where everyone is competent, intelligent, well-spoken, effective and pleasant. - Exposure to people and product knowledge is plentiful. - Compensation is above average, although not spectacular. - The vacation policy is antiquated but the health coverage is unparalleled.

Cons

- The last year has changed Oaktree as it has morphed from a optimistic 'tackle-anything' small office firm to a more corporate, cost-cutting, EPS-driven structure; this is largely driven by the new CEO. - There is no real opportunity for promotion or bonus increases, as promotion timelines have been significantly lengthened to slow the growth of compensation expense for shareholders. - Corporate direction occurs behind closed doors until it is unveiled as a surprise email or an announcement in a meeting.
