A very intellectually stimulating place to be.

Pros

Management is accessable, although sometimes not easily. Very intelligent people work there and are of the highest ethical standards.

Cons

Compensation for those not at the highest levels is poor. Profit sharing has been cut recently, further dividing the haves from the have nots.

Dysfunctional, at best.

Pros

Nice working hours, somewhat easy-going (depends on department). Promotions expected if you are competent. Good cafeteria for a small NYC company.

Cons

Dysfunctional at its best, bureaucratic at its worst. Still stuck adjusting to a merger of Alliance & Bernstein that happened over a decade ago. Fails to nurture real (or young) talent of any kind, and senior management just seems confused.
