Pros

Good culture Nice people Great office Good leadership Hours good - generally 9/10 hour days

Cons

Also a 'pro' as nicer hours but it isn't very 'cut-throat' culture. If you are looking to fly in the finance world this is a great place to learn and work but not the same culture as other Asset Managers Pay and promotion process not very transparent Entire Asset management industry is struggling so the business is too US focus of the firm means EMEA is more of a satellite to the US

Pros

Great people. Attracts people who are not only intelligent but care about doing the right thing by their clients. The people go the extra mile to be highly ethical and collaborate internally to execute the most successful win for their client. Teams truly care about one another - want to see each other excel. Great training programs. You learn how to do anything in the work force - the true meaning of grinding until the problem is solved in a client centric manner.

Cons

The compensation is terrible. Management receives year after year complaints about compensation being entirely inadequate for the work produced by each employee. This is specifically for those on the low end of the pool making (far) BELOW $250-300k/year. Bernstein employees are responsible for absolute excellence at the detriment of their own personal life obligations - without being compensated accordingly. They also refuse to hire the proper amount of staff for 1 advisor team so there is barely any work life balance.
