Nuveen - are your best days behind you?

Divisional director

Business Outlook

Pros

The great people around the firm Good benefits - many of which have been cut however

Cons

Madison Dearborn took Nuveen private at the top of the market - as a result, the firm is under extreme pressure to generate revenues and/or cut costs. There are many entrepreneurial people in the firm, unfortunately, executive management is detached from the people who are expected to deliver and doesn't do a good job of monitoring or holding to account those who are responsible for the undertaking. In a business with extremely large gross margins, this type of detachment isn't terminal nor does it result in major pain for shareholders, however, in the new asset management business paradigm it has become a problem for Nuveen and firms like it.

Nuveen -- try to be one of the selected "few." It's the top management that really makes the money and gets the perks.

Business Outlook

Pros

The eight-week sabbatical is great -- if you can make it that long. Good vacation time, decent base salaries and pretty good benefits -- but not as good as they used to be (no longer have a defined benefit plan). Equity used to be great to have, but since the buyout, just not the upside potential anymore for the rest of the folks.

Cons

Top management plays by different rules. If you can come in at a high enough level, you'll love it. Otherwise the incentive comp is lacking for everyone else. Poor communication of strategic direction. Little incentive given to the sales people.

Pros

Still some remnants of the work-life balance remain from "old Nuveen" but gradually eroding.

Cons

Weak leadership, poor communication, financial impact of acquisition.
