Incompetent leadership and yes men - Software Developer AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Pros

It’s a job that can at least cover your bills.

Cons

Subpar compensation. The most incompetent and toxic management I’ve ever witnessed, specifically under the tech & ops organization — the SVPs have somehow managed to drive away or let go of extremely talented and high performant employees who immediately got recognized elsewhere, leaving behind a cult of yes men and goons who worship leadership like gods. Not merit-based promotions but rather if you are “friends” with the people on the promotion committee (as in, will you openly announce to your colleagues and family members how smart the SVPs are and how you love and adore them with all your heart). For a company that prides itself for having a good “culture”, AB’s culture is perhaps the worst thing about this company, and that’s including an about 40% below average pay.

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.
