Career in Asset Allocation - AM/Pension fund

Was wondering if anyone has had much experience working in asset allocation at an AM/pension fund. 

Just about to accept a role as an analyst in their asset allocation group and I have been told the role will be quite quantitative with coding required. The skills that I will develop look very attractive but if anyone can shed some light in terms how a typical career path may look, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.
