Pros

It’s a job that can at least cover your bills.

Cons

Subpar compensation. The most incompetent and toxic management I’ve ever witnessed, specifically under the tech & ops organization — the SVPs have somehow managed to drive away or let go of extremely talented and high performant employees who immediately got recognized elsewhere, leaving behind a cult of yes men and goons who worship leadership like gods. Not merit-based promotions but rather if you are “friends” with the people on the promotion committee (as in, will you openly announce to your colleagues and family members how smart the SVPs are and how you love and adore them with all your heart). For a company that prides itself for having a good “culture”, AB’s culture is perhaps the worst thing about this company, and that’s including an about 40% below average pay.

Organizational structure needs to be addressed

Pros

Great coworkers, really enjoyed the people I got to meet and work with.

Cons

The fixed income group is constantly giving management new titles but nothings ever changing. While the job is learned, there are many AB quirks that you just have to learn - very frustrating and unintuitive organization. Management is constantly giving themselves new titles but nothing ever changes. Hard time retaining talent, turnover is very high. Dishonesty in the role was conveyed in the interview process.

Pros

Right out of college, it is beneficial to have the opportunity to rotate through different groups and types of roles to figure out what's a good fit.

Cons

Quality of experience in each rotation in terms of training, learning, mentoring, and interesting work can be very manager dependent
