Pros

The company encourages proactive initiatives from it's staff and receives ideas submitted. They have implemented a new feature to the performance reviews where the staff is asked to give feedback regarding their management as well as receive it.

Cons

The company needs to improve it's career development track for current employees. They do not foster the development or promote the talented staff already employed with them. This is disappointing aspect of an otherwise great company.

Pros

The firm is known for their research which is by far the best in the industry.

Cons

The company is going through drastic changes not only due to the economy, but their poor market performance as well as changes with Senior Management. Ever since the new CEO came onboard the morale, benefits and all of the perks of working there have diminished. This has attributed to the thousands of workers that were laid off as well as those that left on their own accord.

Pros

Smart people, dedicated to their jobs Intellectual stimulation/challenge Brand name/reputation Research

Cons

The credit crisis changed the company completely and probably permanently. The opportunity for growth, created by new funds and increased AUM, vanished and this will impact morale as juniors realize their careers have stagnated. The senior management in most cases are young enough that without the new fund/offices... option, junior/mid-level employees have to leave to advance. I joined the old Bernstein when Lew was at the helm and still have very fond memories of working with him. The current team are managers, not investors, and that makes all the difference.
