Only worth it if VP or above - Portfolio Management Associate PIMCO Employee Review

Zero upward mobility if you’re part of the pre-MBA crowd. Promotions are based on time for juniors and politics for mid level and above. Analysts and associates are made to feel they’re lucky to even have the opportunity to work there. No chance to move between product/pm/account management groups. For proof look at the number of senior leadership who started as analysts, you’ll find none. Vastly underpaid compared to similar buyside and sell side roles.
