Create a real team environment, current one is not working
- be more transparent on evaluation and promotion criteria - provide more internal mobility chances to employees - provide more opportunities to employees who are non white male. - while cost saving is good, always try to first retain people who are made redundant - do more in ESG, PIMCO is late
Listening to people and understanding different perspectives.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
yo yo yo yo yo
Because it's a finance company, I am paid much more than someone in a comparable job in a different industry.
Can't complain money is good.
401k, good benefits package, and generous bonus
PIMCO is a great company. I have enjoyed my career growth at the firm.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The firm pays so much more to EVPs and MDs while underpaying those under them. This is shown in the income ratio between an associate and MD. They don’t value your work as they are focusing on automating things across function
Less work and more balance
Stressed out colleagues and managers can be unkind.
Top leaders earn $100mm+ annually, while lower level employees are constantly squeezed. Top leaders also decide their own compensation.
People are kept as a set of moneys for showcase in the zoo. Skills don't matter since there aren't any real projects and the only thing that matters for compensation is political bolstering.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Many talents people work for this company.
Everyone holds each other in high esteem and works to ensure each other's success.
We got great exposure to sophisticated clients around the world - institutions, pensions, wealth management, family office. You also have great exposure to top investment thinkers.
they work very hard day and night
I appreate that my team treats me as a equal. We are asked to contribute to the companies success and help with new and fresh ideas.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
People need to help each other more. Everyone is an island here.
Be kind - money isn't everything.
Better tone at the top; creating a more teamlike culture. The culture pits people against each other.
People need projects aligned with their skills and company long-term success.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Again, everyone is capable and does their work, and people ensure that others are successful.
