Business Outlook

Pros

Culture and focus are top of mind--which might be the Con!

Cons

Closed product architecture, laborious in their processes, slow to move, react or change and a severe lack of employee diversity. When I interviewed it took forever, you would have thought I was threatening every senior leader's role...There is a paralysis by analysis environment which is why I left. For those considering joining the firm, be careful, patient and don't be surprised if they interview you for months and never make a decision, New York and Florida are revolving doors with limited talent.

Outdated Company

Private client associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent work-life balance compared to other firms

Cons

Technology used in office is antiquated, which makes the daily lives of associates frustrating. AllianceBernstein did not seem to want employees to take actions outside of the job description, meaning you are hired for a very specific purpose, and often feel like a cog in the wheel. Management didn't seem dedicated to investing time or energy in young employees' futures at the company, which led to many people actively seeking opportunities at other firms.

Pros

Nice People, good work and life balance. Steep learning curve. Internship program let you explore different areas within the asset management.

Cons

Pay is below the par, not much mobility. Rotational program's pay is below other asset management firms. Management can be arrogant sometime.
