Pros
Bottom line is that there are still "some" good people who work at Oaktree.
Cons
I think there is a huge disconnect with upper level management and reality when it comes to compensation. The executive committee still thinks they can pay early 2000's type salaries/ bonuses in today's job market. When upper management is approached by this topic, the political response has always been "research has shown pay is not what keeps employees happy". When employees hear that, the perception is, "we rather pay you the bare minimum so we can fill our own pockets." The fact that pay doesn't bring happiness might be true in some cases, but the discrepancy is so wide it can't be overlooked. We all work in this industry for a reason and we all have families to feed. When pay is this far off from market comps, the decision to leave becomes very easy.
