Business Outlook

Pros

This is a high quality firm with good long-term prospects. The firm's intellectual capital and research engine remain top class, as does the product suite. The years of success have also resulted in the building of an excellent internal infrastructure.

Cons

I think the firm is still a bit too top heavy management wise and the lack of new blood and fresh ideas (coupled with unshaken hubris in the equity department) means that the equity performance turnaround still might take some time.

People: smart, efficient and incredibly productive

Business Outlook

Pros

The work environment truly is what it make it to be. A positive attitude goes a long way. Things get done here - projects get finished, ideas and procedures get implemented...and updated. There really is very little "politics" behind decisions here.

Cons

Performance has been hurting badly for a number of years now. Still unclear whether they will be able to turn the company around. This has definitely affected the atmosphere AND has lead to many people leaving the firm.

Good experience, but very stressful

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great resources. Without any formal advertising, Bernstein still creates great marketing pieces. The wealth analysis system is second to none. Very much a work hard, play hard environment.

Cons

Bernstein has a very specific and particular culture and if you don't understand it then you're done. There a lot of pressure to succeed so make sure you have constructive ways to deal with that stress.
