Business outlook

Pros

Fun culture Friendly and helpful co-workers Work with recent technologies Great work life balance with FTO, and remote options

Cons

Pay is lower than other financial companies (BoA, GS, Morgan Stanley, JP, etc), and significantly lower than tech companies. BlackRock likes to think they are still competitive in this regards, but the general sentiment among the software engineers is that they are all planning to find other opportunities, especially when Amazon ramps up recruitment. A lot of hurdles and bureaucracy from senior management

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
