In their own words:
“A word that defines Neuberger Berman is opportunity — on professional, cultural and personal levels. We are deeply committed to our people and want them to see NB as a career destination. With over 700 employee-owners, there is an authenticity to our efforts and a shared goal of delivering for clients. This year, we celebrated 85 years of Neuberger Berman — a testament to our storied history and enduring values and 15 years since regaining our independence as an employee-owned firm. Being a best place to work is core to our strategy and mission.”

Employees say:
- “When joining, I heard a lot about the firm’s culture and was somewhat skeptical as every company claims to have a strong culture. Shortly after joining the firm, however, I noticed that everything I had heard was true. We work in an incredibly collaborative environment that focuses on reaching the finish line together. I don’t have to fear asking questions as everyone is willing to help each other learn more so we can all be the best employees we can be.”
- “It’s motivating to see people that have spent 50 years at a firm and are still working simply because they enjoy it. The firm is filled with people who are intellectually curious and always trying to better themselves.”
- “The organization has a great retirement package, which helps ease people’s fears about ‘will I have enough’ as we get to that stage. As a whole, the organization has many clubs and events to be inclusive, and shows a great interest in giving back to the community with volunteer events.”
