Middle office sweatshop with cult-ish upper management - Software Developer AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Pros

There is none. Seek better employment opportunities if you are in Nashville.

Cons

Don't be fooled: AB is not a tech company or a wall street bank; it is an old-school asset manager. Despite the recent "headquarters" shift to Nashville, it's essentially just a middle office hub. All the essential business side personnel are still in NYC and WILL REMAIN IN NYC. AB operates on an extremely dated set of proprietary software. While the tech staff at AB may have been good once, that has NOT been the case since 2008. YOU WILL DEFINTELY PIGEONHOLE YOURSELF if you are relatively junior in your career, let alone the pathetic compensation and borderline insulting Y/Y adjustment. Management is also actively offshoring as much non-front-office work as possible while Management is actively offshoring non-front-office work while praising themselves for "cultivating new talents." My advice: STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE!

Pros

AB is a solid mid-sized company with a really good work-life balance. The culture is friendly and supportive.

Cons

Compensation is relatively lower compared to larger firms, especially big tech or larger financial institutions.
