Pros

Excellent technology in comparison to competitors Merit driven compensation with competitive base to start Very supportive and experienced management team Investment in technology and efficiency enhancements at team level not just platform level Very broad product offering giving opportunities for exposure to numerous areas of investment management without having to leave the firm Strong fiduciary mindset which resonates through the firm at all levels

Cons

Some areas operate in silos making it difficult to get things done outside of a particular process Large firm can be difficult to navigate even if you have come from a large competitor Some rigidity around change in processes and platform which can present with some challenges when working with external parties - however the strong platform and posture against unnecessary change gives the firm its edge

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
