Pros

Amazing people, amazing culture, great work-life balance. Honestly, an all-around wonderful place to work. Senior Management also appears to be genuinely committed to the company (founding members taking $1 salary and still working full-time in the office, for example) Truly an incredible experience to work at this firm, and I have the highest respect for Oaktree's business integrity and adherence to its principles.

Cons

I wish HR would be a little more employee-focused and less company-focused sometimes. Sometimes seems like HR is focused less on current employees being happy, and more on cutting corners to maximize $$ for the company. This, obviously, is perfectly fine from an operational perspective, but with a company that stresses "people first" it'd be nice to see this play out in practice. Absolutely no qualms with senior management on this; they've worked hard to enact a lot of new changes that directly benefit lower-level employees and local communities. This, I feel, is a good embodiment of Oaktree's principles, some HR policies less so.

Pros

Flexible depending on your manager. Friendly coworkers. Really good company to have on your resume, recruiters constantly reaching out. Very diverse company.

Cons

Little transparency from upper management. Constantly on edge about new changes. HYD office opening created a ton of extra work that we won't see the benefits of for a long time.
