Pros

Good on the CV, Aladdin is good system to learn

Cons

Going down hill fast, lots of senior people are leaving and in the past year people I have known to work at Blackrock for over 5 years have left due to the way they are treated. Big disconnect between the workers and senior management of the same departments. No real perks like other companies offer. The flexible time off is a bit of a con its all down to your manager how much you get to take and my manager only let us have the standard 25 days off. Wouldn't recomend better places and people elsewhere plus the compensation doesnt reflect the status of BlackRock you will be well underpaid and bonuses have been stale for past 3 years

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
