Don't do it - Vice President AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Pros

Known for their research, AB has some very smart people on board.

Cons

AB is a totally political and dysfunctional environment. No one will speak up, even SVP level and above, on what really goes on. It is an elitist group of people who have lost their sense of humanity and are running scared. You will only get promoted if you are in senior management's inner circle and everyone knows it. It is a cut throat and throw you under the bus environment. There 10 years one day, gone the next. With all that said, they don't even pay competitively and there is no work life balance because they have scaled back and cut so many costs that the organization is too lean and has no support. Peter Kraus needs to go.
