Pros

Good base pay (Small bonus), Smart People to work with & nice social events

Cons

Very bureaucratic, Management Expectations are very high. You have to be in the circle. Not at all a meritocracy. Overall, a very bad morale and environment. People are not at all appreciated and expected to deliver. If something is delivered incorrectly, managers would send emails of disappointment. VP level can be very lazy, noticing people in Finance and Tax browsing the internet quite often. Furthermore, an entire function had resigned due to lack of management in that area. Be careful.

Pros

Some good teams and members of staff. Exposure over a wide client base and markets.

Cons

There was little to no opportunity for internal movement. Management actively blocked internal movement to the detriment of various teams. Some senior staff members were particularly disappointing to work with, especially if they had transferred from the US to the London office. They offered nothing but weak leadership, poor fund management and a negative effect on morale and I would place them as some of the weakest people I have ever worked with. Senior staff were often rude and dismissive of other members of staff. They also belonged to various cliques. There appeared to be two groups of employees, one group would receive all benefits irrespective of performance, whilst it was always a difficult year for the second group. Salary was not competitive.

Pros

Compared to the vast majority of companies within the financial services industry that I've had the chance to work for, Neuberger practices what it preaches. The quality of work that employees deliver on a daily basis is high, but this doesn't come at the expense of a thriving company culture. Both regional offices and HQ sustain robust and yet collaborative business practices, where everyone (down to the most junior levels) has a say in, e.g., improving existing processes and innovating to serve clients in the best possible way. Managers actively encourage participation in regional and global Town Halls, and the results of a recent employee survey point to above-average employee satisfaction scores. It is a pleasure to work with co-workers who also hold the firm in such a high regard. Silos are not prevalent and internal mobility opportunities exist, in that employees are regularly rewarded for their ability to think outside of the box and add value to an adjacent department/function. AUM has grown steadily over the years, and the suite of investment product remains diversified whilst keeping pace with key trends in the industry.

Cons

No major flaws I could think of - granted, the company is smaller than some of its counterparts (e.g. Blackrock/Fidelity/Vanguard) in terms of the global headcount, but this creates a tight-knit work environment.
