Pzena Investment Management Reviews

Pros

There is a high level of transparency and knowledge sharing across the firm. You work with nice, genuine and smart people plus firm hosts monthly team outings. Leadership values and cares about the employees.

Cons

There are some manual, inefficient processes - hope to minimize time spent on administrative tasks.

Pros

The culture of the organization is second to none. You truly feel like a valued team member and part of the Pzena family instead of just a replaceable number. They want you to succeed at the firm and try to almost exclusively promote from within and look to only do outside hiring for lower-tiered positions, which bodes extremely well for employees looking for internal growth and mobility.

Cons

Nothing I can think of.

Pros

Since it's a small-ish company, you can get involved in many areas of the business and really see the fruits of your labor on a daily basis. There are a lot of very smart people working here and the opportunities abound. In my tenure, I have seen a lot of internal movement and career growth throughout the firm. Being on the buy-side is great, and I'm never going back to a big bank. Finally, equity partnership is open to all members of the firm and is a great incentive to work hard and build a career here.

Cons

Since it is a deep value shop, they don't pay top dollar. It's a reasonable trade off for the experience and culture though and compensation is competitive. Work/life balance could be better but it's pretty reasonable for a financial services firm.
