Pros

None - oh maybe the free lunches but that just means they are chaining you to your desk even longer

Cons

This company is totally dysfunctional. Management are only interested in how much money they can get into their pockets and not how to run the business effectively. Do not expect to advance your career here. You will be given a role and there will be no room for advancement or change. Do not always believe what you are told in the interview, when you get in the doors they might have changed what they are going to do with you. There is a HR team but they are not interested in personal issues. The IT team does not have a help desk and they are still using Lotus Notes. When there is an operational issue, Och Ziff hire more staff than resolve the problem. The trading desk use no tactics and are one dimensional. Do not work at this firm. I wasted a number of years at Och Ziff, please do not commit the same error I did.

Pros

Free lunch. Decent pay and PTO.

Cons

IT Leadership is very toxic here which starts from the very top. No career planning at all and no growth opportunities. They expect you to pick up anything and everything regardless of what you are experienced in. It’s about the volume of work and never about experience new and exciting things. There’s always the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude. You are expected to work very long hours and weekends. Otherwise you are looked upon as a slacker. It’s a glorified sweatshop. I would advise any sane person to stay far away from this place.
