PineBridge Investments
Headquarters: New York
AUM: $169.7 billion as of June 30
U.S. Employees: 256
THREE COOL THINGS:
• Employees earn monetary awards for passing various levels of the Certified Financial Analyst exam: $500 for levels I and II and $1,000 for level III.
• Required annual diversity, equity and inclusion courses for employees include preventing discrimination and harassment, unconscious bias, DEI at work and modern slavery in supply chains. The company also embeds DEI concepts into interview training for
hiring managers and interview panelists.
• PineBridge marked the beginning of spring by holding a floral arrangement class during which employees learned the techniques and design principles of making flower bouquets, which they then brought home with them.
EMPLOYEES SAY:
• “Collectively, we aim to avoid being bureaucratic and dishonest. Staff rallies around moving the ball forward and executing sound and business-critical ideas and initiatives. To get to that point, we have open and honest dialogue. This makes for a nimble organization
that can capture opportunities as they arise.”
• “There’s an open door culture with few barriers to management, where your voice can be heard and there’s an ability to take ownership of work.”
• “There is a high degree of collaboration, both within teams and across the entire organization. There is also an entrepreneurial spirit, with the organization
functioning as an ‘established startup’ — established given the level of experience among the majority of employees but a startup in the ability to try new approaches in pursuit of the best outcome for our clients and the firm.”
