Thoughts on Alliance Bernstein (Alternatives / Private Placements)?

Alliance Bernstein has a $65bn Alternatives book but I have not seen them discussed on WSO. Even their RIA has ~$750bn AUM yet I rarely see them mentioned. 

I'd like to get some insight into their private placements group (structured credit). Does anyone have any insight into their culture, processes, comp, etc? Thoughts would also be appreciated on structured credit PP roles in general too... Looking for some general guidance as I weigh career moves.
