Neuberger reviews

Culture they talk of is a myth; leadership is lacking; pedigree has little to do with results; awful performance across broad group of managers.

Compensation seems far below what I've heard from others, with minimal raises each year that barely keep up with inflation, and an unclear and subjective path to promotion. Senior people don't leave which makes it challenging to rise through the ranks. I think it's a difficult place to build your career, but a great place to join if you are more senior. The lean resource model means there is always a lot on your plate, sometimes too much. No laptops or phones are provided by the firm, everyone is expected to use their personal equipment which is insane to me. Most are 3 days in the office right now, and they are starting to crack down and encouraging more in-office time. I prefer a more flexible schedule. Can be quite old-fashioned - heavy reliance on admins still, technology could use a lot of work, population skews old and white etc. Player/Coach model when it comes to managing - you are expected to do your full-time job while also managing. Also don't expect to manage anyone until you are an SVP. Parental leave policies are outdated and inequitable: primary care is 16 weeks, non-primary is only 4.
