Dysfunctional, at best.

Pros

Nice working hours, somewhat easy-going (depends on department). Promotions expected if you are competent. Good cafeteria for a small NYC company.

Cons

Dysfunctional at its best, bureaucratic at its worst. Still stuck adjusting to a merger of Alliance & Bernstein that happened over a decade ago. Fails to nurture real (or young) talent of any kind, and senior management just seems confused.

Pros

One of the leading money managers in the world; great access to senior members of the firm; surrounded by successful people with diverse backgrounds and networks; excellent networking opportunity for tenured associates who build relationships with clients across various industries.

Cons

Regional offices have limited opportunities for associates - senior positions only created within a regional office as it expands. Career moves usually require moving to NY or other larger office.
