Neuberger Berman Reviews

Pros

Communication from top is clear. Supportive management as long as we take the initiative. Benefits are competitive. People are helpful and knowledgeable

Cons

Firm is small so upward mobility is challenging. Benefits need to improve on the 401K match and annual pay increase. Stagnant for few years

Advice to Senior Management

Make 401K more competitive by matching a higher percent and dollar amount. Allocate more resources for employee training to improve skills and learn new technology.

Pros

The firm is like one big family. Decent location. Very easy to get along with all departments. Great senior management.

Cons

Difficult internal mobility. Pay could be better.

Pros

Try hard to allow work life balance

Cons

management structure needs big improvement

Advice to Senior Management

need to have management training classes

Community type atmosphere with the feel of a large asset management firm. Great people and very intelligent peers.

Cons

Small groups and limited opportunity to move within the firm

Pros

Great hours, ridiculously smart people, great atmosphere, one big family. Other employees are very accessible and are always helpful and informative.

Cons

Most people are entrenched. Implications are that the mobility is a little difficult; the workers are all experienced and are near end-career

The firm is focused solely on investment management, so while growth in one's area is encouraged and possible, it is not always as easy to move to a different area within the firm as it might be in a multi-line firm.

To enable all employees to participate in equity ownership in this private firm, regardless of the area in which they work.
