    Pros

    Great supportive teams. Fringe benefits. Executive dining floor. Summer family picnic. Competitive Pay. Great health benefits and continued education opportunities within via TCW U. Hybrid work environment. Collaborative diverse teams.

    Cons

    Business floors accessible on multiple elevator banks which at times can make getting to a meeting on different floors more time consuming. Cell phone coverage and wifi in some areas not as strong as others.

    Its ok to learn then move on

    Jan 31, 2023 - Associate in Los Angeles, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Some very knowledgeable people and amazing people to work with. Been with the firm for years and you get to make some meaningful relationships which is the best part of TCW.

    Cons

    Pay is on the lower end (unless you are management then your compensation is great) career progression is also stagnant. You can transfer to a new department, but you never advance your career. There is a constant flow of turnover and management not addressing why. Managers are hit or miss. Its a good place to work to learn, but then you will move on to another firm as TCW is not keeping up with other opportunities out there.

    Horrible Culture

    Jan 10, 2023 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Dining and the dining staff

    Cons

    I feel my manager is rude and favors other employees - I believe my career is limited here because of that. The culture feels very toxic as it seems exclusions happened more often than inclusions. It also feels that face time is highly important, as such, I don't even feel comfortable taking a short break from my desk, let alone taking a lunch.

    Awful culture, toxicity is perpetuated

    Feb 24, 2022 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Nothing, I cannot think a a single thing I can recommend.

    Cons

    This place has the most uncomfortable, tense, and toxic environment and culture I've ever worked at in my entire career. Management and select few middle managers are virtually untouchable, they can do no wrong even when racism and bullying is rampant. Going to human resources was fruitful and retaliation was subtle. I didn't have the money to pursue a lawsuit so I left.
