Lack of Strategy with an "In Crowd" vs. Inclusive Feel - Management AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Pros

Pay for sought-after expertise is excellent. Good amount of flexibility. Some very smart people. Some at firm are attempting to create a good culture.

Cons

Strong, competent individuals are often overshadowed by less competent ones who have been around forever and are in favor for unclear reasons. Definitely an "in crowd" / "clubby" feel. Attempts at inclusion fall painfully short. In certain parts of firm, lack of strategy is hard to watch/live with -- especially when advice/guidance is not welcomed.
