A Great Firm Gone Wrong - Anonymous employee AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Pros

A lot of smart people. Hard working. Benefits are better than most. Continued emphasis on research (although people are getting stretched too thin to do it to the same depth that had been traditional).

Cons

Constant layoffs and reshufflings make it difficult to get any momentum, either careerwise or businesswise. Leadership (especially the CEO) doesn't inspire the staff. The firm just seems adrift and taking on water. People are stretched too thin to consistently deliver high-quality work.
