SURVEY SAYS


Life, meet work

There’s a “good work/life balance” at Brown Brothers Harriman, which is “supportive of career development.”  Some also call the firm “very tapped in to the prep school and old wealth networks,” as well as “conservative” and “risk-averse.”  It also places an “emphasis on individual results,” but employees are “encouraged to do the best thing for their clients and there is no pressure to sell inappropriate products.”  Still, you will have a life outside the firm if you work here, since “management is very respectful of personal lives and other commitments.”

Tips from the inside

From all corners

The firm utilizes “multiple resources” to traffic in top-shelf candidates.  Brown Brother Harriman recruits via “colleges,” “job fairs,” “internal postings and referrals,” “Internet job boards” and even “cold-call recruiting.”  But no matter how they get them, the firm “is known for selecting candidates from the top schools around the world and certainly in the U.S.,” says a source.  “This is also true of the institutional equities business, on the sales desk in particular.  The recent history of hiring patterns in institutional equities has shown somewhat of an Ivy League bias in sales.”
