Pros
Great people, very much a open door policy Convenient cafeteria Name looks good on resume
Cons
No structure in group for advancement; it's who brown noses the most. Movement to investment groups for those seeking is nigh impossible. There is no diversity within the group, it's literally the Greenwich, CT lacrosse team Client Group has a tough time retaining talent due to very poor compensation and the fact that most roles within the group are tremendously boring Most managers in the group are there due to it being a progression of their career, not because they are actually good managers of people. For a first job, this can be very detrimental to growth Entire group is tremendously top heavy. Because of this, there's no commitment to education or advancement of those at the associate level. Everyone in a senior position in the group has been at the firm for 10+ years, is buddy-buddy, and is paid at pre-financial crisis levels i.e. junior staff are horribly under compensated for their contributions To those looking into the rotation program, be very wary, as an outsider looking in, the program is just a means to exploit young, talented workers and underpay/under support them every step of the way. Every other rotational program at AB blows them out of the water.
